Lower Opening Quantities
Low MOQ clothing manufacturing from 50 pieces per colour
Launch a focused private-label collection without committing to oversized opening inventory. Suitable styles can start from 50 pieces per colour, split across an agreed size range.
The final minimum is confirmed after we review the fabric, construction, colour count, trims, branding and production method.
- Custom development, not stock blanks
- Sample approval before production
- Brand labels and packaging
- Capacity for repeat orders
A lower MOQ still needs a production-ready brief
Low MOQ does not remove the technical work behind a garment. Pattern development, fabric selection, colour matching, labels, printing and packing still have to be decided and approved.
The best small first run is usually a focused product with controlled colours and trims. That keeps setup costs proportionate and gives the brand a cleaner test of fit, quality and customer demand.
What can raise the minimum
Custom fabric or colour
A mill may require a larger fabric order than the garment quantity itself needs.
Complex construction
Outerwear, tailored pieces and technical activewear require more setup and specialist operations.
Multiple colourways
Each colour is planned separately, so adding colours increases the total more quickly than adding sizes.
Custom trims
Zips, hardware, elastics, drawcords and moulded components can have supplier minimums.
Print and embroidery setup
Artwork method, number of colours and placement affect setup cost and minimum efficiency.
Special testing or finishing
Performance testing, specialist washes or compliance documents are scoped and quoted separately.
Plan a commercially sensible first order
Choose one hero product
Start with the product that most clearly represents the brand rather than launching every idea at once.
Limit the opening colours
One or two strong colourways usually create a better opening order than several very small colour splits.
Agree the size split
The per-colour quantity is divided across sizes according to your customer and target market.
Approve one complete sample
Fit, fabric, branding and finishing are approved together before the bulk quantity is committed.
Document the specification
Measurements, materials, colours, labels and packing are written down so a repeat can be controlled.
Scale from real demand
Repeat quantities can grow once sales data, customer feedback and preferred colourways are clearer.

Low MOQ questions
What does MOQ from 50 pieces per colour mean?
For suitable styles, one colour can start from 50 pieces split across the agreed size range. A second colour normally creates a second 50-piece minimum because fabric and production setup are managed by colour.
Is 50 pieces available for every garment?
No. Fifty pieces per colour is a starting point for suitable styles. Technical construction, custom fabric, specialist trims, printing setup or factory requirements may create a higher minimum.
Can I order many styles at 50 pieces each?
It may be possible, but a focused first collection is usually more economical. Each style creates separate pattern, sample, sourcing and production setup work.
Does low MOQ mean ready-made white label stock?
No. Kemora develops custom private-label garments to your specification. The product is sampled before bulk production; we do not relabel a stock catalogue.
Can repeat orders be larger?
Yes. The partner-factory network has high production capacity. Available line allocation, timing and pricing are reconfirmed for each repeat order.
