MOQ for Leather Protective Cases
For business orders, leather goods manufacturers and wholesalers often set a minimum order quantity or order value. Although these requirements may limit some smaller orders, they help manufacturers manage material sourcing, production setup, customization costs, and production efficiency while providing buyers with more consistent quality, stable pricing, and reliable production planning.
What is Minimum Order Quantity ?
Simply put, MOQ is the minimum order threshold set by factories and wholesalers.
An Everyday Example
At a supermarket: If you want to buy one phone case and one phone lanyard, the supermarket will sell them to you individually. Many manufacturers sell products in bulk to wholesalers, who then sell them in bulk to retailers. Both stages of this supply chain operate with minimum order quantities.
At a factory or wholesale market where an MOQ applies: If you want to order a batch of customized phone cases, the factory may tell you, “We do not sell at retail. Our minimum order is 100 units.” Those 100 units are the MOQ.
The Two Most Common Ways MOQs Are Set
By quantity: For example, a minimum order of 100 units.
By order value: For example, a supplier may require a single order to reach a value of at least 2,000 before shipping.
Regardless of the method, the MOQ represents the minimum order level at which a supplier can make a profit on a particular order. Setup costs, overhead, the minimum quantity of raw materials the supplier must purchase, and other factors all affect this calculation.
Why Do Manufacturers Need to Set an MOQ?
Setting an MOQ helps ensure that each order covers its costs and allows both sides to make a profit. Take custom logos as an example. Even if a customer orders only a few dozen units, the factory still needs to confirm the logo file, choose the application method, adjust the logo position, set up the equipment, and test the actual result before production begins.
If the order quantity is too small, these upfront costs can only be spread across a small number of products, so the unit cost will naturally increase. When the production quantity reaches a reasonable level, the factory can arrange materials, labor, and production lines using its normal batch production process.
- Minimum Raw Material Purchase Quantity
- Color and Material Preparation
- Equipment and Production Line Setup
- Logo Process Preparation
- Molds and Fixtures
- Packaging Preparation
- Labor and Quality Control
- Production Scheduling
The main purpose of setting an MOQ is not to ask customers to “buy more.” It is to bring an order to a quantity suitable for batch production, allowing upfront costs to be spread more reasonably while helping buyers receive more consistent product specifications, production quality, and unit costs.
Our Minimum Order Quantity
For custom phone cases, tablet cases, earphone cases, smart glasses cases, watch straps, and other tech accessories, our standard production minimum order quantity is 500 pieces per SKU.
1 Equipment Model
1 Product Style
1 Color
Example: iPhone 18 Pro + Style A + Black = 1 production SKU = minimum order quantity of 500 pieces.
MOQ Example
Our minimum order quantity is calculated based on individual production SKUs, rather than combining the quantities of different models, styles, or colors directly.
| Order Combination | Result | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 500 pcs iPhone 18 Pro + Style A + Black | Meets MOQ | One device model, one product style, and one color are treated as one production SKU. |
| 250 pcs Black + 250 pcs Brown | Usually Cannot Be Combined | Different colors usually require separate material preparation and production arrangements. |
| 250 pcs iPhone 18 Pro + 250 pcs iPhone 18 Pro Max | Separate SKUs | Different device models usually require different shells, molds, or production configurations. |
| 500 pcs Same SKU + Custom Logo | Usually Applicable | Standard logo customization can usually be applied to the same production batch without changing the standard MOQ. |
MOQ Rules for Functional Custom
Within our existing product structures and manufacturing processes, you can choose from magnetic attachment, MagSafe compatibility, built-in stands, lanyards, and cardholder features based on your project needs.
If all 500 units use the same structure and feature configuration, the order can generally be produced under our standard MOQ.
If one order combines different configurations—for example, 250 units with MagSafe and 250 units without MagSafe—the MOQ will need to be reconfirmed based on the product structure and manufacturing method.
If the different features require different base cases, components, or separate production processes, they may be treated as separate production SKUs.

How We Build Your Custom Quote
Custom product pricing is confirmed per SKU after we review the product construction, materials, finishes, branding, packaging, and order quantity. Larger quantities receive lower wholesale unit prices.
What Affects Your Quote?
Product Specifications: Material, construction, finish, logo, packaging, and required product fit determine the unit price.
Development Requirements: When a new structure, custom internal support, or tooling is required, the quotation includes the related development costs.
Quantity by SKU: Volume pricing is based on the quantity of each model, color, or product structure. Different SKUs are priced separately and do not combine toward a higher quantity level.
Quantity-Based Wholesale Pricing
Customers can request quotes from us based on different order quantities.
Submit your product specifications and quantity requirements. We will provide the unit price, MOQ, development or tooling fees, sample terms, and lead time.
FAQ
Possibly. New molds, custom components, or special materials usually have their own minimum production or purchasing requirements. The exact MOQ will be reconfirmed based on the specific project.
Standard customization options, such as logos, materials, colors, MagSafe compatibility, stands, and lanyards, usually follow our standard MOQ. If the project requires a special structure, special materials, or custom components, the MOQ may need to be evaluated separately.
Different colors and device models usually require different materials, base cases, molds, or separate production scheduling and machine setup. Therefore, they are treated as separate production SKUs.
Our standard MOQ is 500 units per SKU. Orders below this quantity are evaluated case by case based on the custom product, materials, and production requirements.
