OEM Seasoning MOQ Guide: How the 500 kg Base MOQ Works
Minimum order quantity is influenced by production batch size, raw-material preparation, cleaning time, packaging efficiency and the purchasing requirements of packaging suppliers.
Our base MOQ starts from 500 kg per product. It does not automatically mean that 500 kg can be divided into several formulas, flavors or fully customized packaging formats.
PRACTICAL REFERENCE
How 500 kg translates into units
Figures and formats are planning references. Final requirements depend on the formula, filling loss, packaging specifications and supplier minimum quantities.
| Net weight | Theoretical units from 500 kg | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 10 g | 50,000 sachets | Printed film may require a higher minimum quantity. |
| 100 g | 5,000 packs | Confirm label or pouch MOQ. |
| 500 g | 1,000 packs | Suitable for retail or small foodservice use. |
| 1 kg | 500 packs | Suitable for wholesale and foodservice. |
| 5 kg | 100 packs | Suitable for foodservice or food manufacturing. |
Information buyers should provide
- ✓ Product type and number of formulas
- ✓ Target flavor and product application
- ✓ Net weight and packaging format
- ✓ Estimated order quantity and destination market
- ✓ Private-label, label language and reference-sample requirements
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✓ Assuming 500 kg can be split into several unrelated products
- ✓ Printing packaging before the formula and net weight are confirmed
- ✓ Requesting a custom bottle or small sachet without checking packaging MOQ
- ✓ Providing total weight without explaining unit size and sales channel
Example: one product, two packaging ideas
A buyer plans to order 500 kg of one chicken seasoning formula. It may theoretically be packed as 5,000 × 100 g retail pouches or 500 × 1 kg foodservice pouches. These options have different film, label, carton and filling requirements, so final MOQ and cost must be evaluated separately.
