A minimum order quantity (MOQ) is the smallest number of pieces a manufacturer produces per style. For jeans it is driven by fabric minimums, wash batches and setup time. Kuzgunlar Textile in Istanbul works with a minimum of 100–150 pieces per style; samples take 7–10 days and bulk production 3–5 weeks.
Low MOQ jeans production means a manufacturer accepts small quantities per style — for example a few hundred pieces or less — instead of thousands. At Kuzgunlar Textile in Istanbul the minimum is 100–150 pieces per style, which lets new and growing brands test styles without large stock.
Why minimum orders exist
- Fabric: mills sell fabric by the roll or batch; a special colour or weight can carry its own minimum.
- Washing: washes are run in machine loads, so very small quantities can make each piece more expensive.
- Setup: pattern grading, marker making and line setup take the same time for 100 or 1,000 pieces.
What changes the minimum
| Factor | Effect on MOQ |
|---|---|
| Stock fabric vs special order | Stock fabric allows smaller runs; custom colours or weights may raise the minimum |
| Simple vs complex wash | A rinse wash is easier to run in small batches than a multi-step finish |
| Number of sizes | More sizes spread the same quantity thinner per size |
| Custom trims | Branded buttons or rivets can have their own supplier minimums |
How to plan a first order
- Start with one or two core fits instead of many styles.
- Use one fabric across several styles where possible.
- Choose washes that can be repeated in the next order.
- Agree the size split before sampling, so the sample size matches your core size.
Low MOQ and price
Smaller orders usually cost more per piece than large ones because setup and wash costs are spread over fewer garments. Ask for prices at two quantities — your first order and a realistic reorder — to see how the price changes.
