Reduce startup risk in the first order
\n
Minimum order quantity is often misunderstood. Start with a pilot plan and define success criteria before setting bulk volume.
\n
- Step 1: Confirm color, size matrix, and logo placement in one matrix file.
- Step 2: Set initial MOQ per SKU to hit factory setup efficiency.
- Step 3: Decide inspection tolerance per process point (visual, dimensions, stitching).
- Step 4: Review total landed cost at proposed volume, not unit price only.
\n
For first order, one stable variant is better than many colors with too little quantity each.
