**Short answer:** MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is the minimum number of units a manufacturer requires per style. Many factories ask for 300, 500 or 1,000 units, forcing brands to invest heavily before validating their product. In Colombia you can produce small collections: at **The Full Package S.A.S** we manufacture from 50 units per style, ideal for launches, capsule collections and brands that want to grow without overstocking.
If you've ever been frustrated to hear "the minimum is 500 units per color," you're not alone. High minimums are one of the biggest barriers for new and growing brands.
What is MOQ and why does it exist?
MOQ is the minimum a manufacturer accepts per style (and sometimes per color). It exists because every run has fixed costs: pattern development, sampling, line setup, minimum fabric purchase. More units dilute those costs, so large factories prefer high volumes.
Why high MOQs are a problem
- - They lock up your capital on an unproven design.
- - They create dead inventory if the product doesn't sell as expected.
- - They prevent experimentation across designs and colors.
- - They strain cash flow.
How to produce small collections successfully
1. Work with a low-MOQ manufacturer
In Colombia, **The Full Package S.A.S** produces from 50 units per style, letting you launch a full capsule with controlled investment.
2. Start with a capsule collection
Launch 3 to 6 well-executed pieces instead of 15. Less risk, more focus.
3. Limit your color and size curve at first
Each extra color and size multiplies the total minimum. Start with the highest-demand options.
4. Use the full package model
The manufacturer sources materials in the right quantities for your volume, so you don't buy whole fabric rolls you don't need.
5. Plan restocks, not overproduction
Produce little and restock what sells. Colombia's proximity and short lead times make restocking in weeks viable.
Do low minimums mean lower quality?
No: as long as you choose the right manufacturer. A well-managed low minimum keeps the same pattern, cutting, sewing and QC standards. The difference is unit cost, not quality.
