What is the approximate MOQ for packaging Bags? How did it work out?

Many customers have encountered such problems.When they asked the packaging bag manufacturer for the MOQ, the MOQ was 35,000, or even more than 100,000. The first cooperation felt that the MOQ was too high.And I don’t understand why.Especially for some customers who have just started their business and are not too large in scale, it is difficult to accept high MOQ.Today, Yoten Technology,a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, explained the reason for the high MOQ of packaging bags based on its own experience.

1. The printing version of the packaging bag is expensive

Packaging bag printing belongs to rotogravure printing. One color needs a copper plate, which we commonly call plate making. The plate fee is relatively expensive. Depending on the complexity of the bag pattern, a color ranges from $80-$125. For example, if you want to print a bag with 6 colors, the color plate fee will cost $480-$750.

2. The MOQ depends on the length of the roll film

The MOQ of packaging bags is generally calculated based on the length of a roll of material. The length of materials on the market is generally about 6000 meters. For example, a garment bag is made of PET/PE/PP/CPE with a specification of 25*18mm. The order quantity will be around 6000/0.18=33333pcs, and the MOQ of 30,000 pieces is not high after considering the loss.

The MOQ for automatic packaging roll film is generally 500kg.

3. If the minimum order quantity is not reached, the soft package factory will basically lose money

For packaging bag manufacturers, if the MOQ is not reached, they will be at a loss if they do so.Because of the small quantity, a series of processes such as plate replacement, finalization, ink replacement, and color proofing are required.After more than 3 hours, if a roll of materials is not finished, the loss rate is very large, possibly reaching more than 50%, which is unacceptable for any packaging factory.

Therefore, many packaging bag manufacturers will also set the minimum consumption rule, that is, when the customer's MOQ cannot meet the MOQ, the unit price of the packaging bag will be appropriately increased. Therefore, it is recommended that many customers who are pursuing the quality of packaging bags and want to customize the packaging bags should coordinate production and storage as much as possible to achieve the MOQ, so that they can purchase the packaging bags they want and have the cost-effectiveness.
