Why MOQ
Where MOQ Comes From — 4 Factors

alt="Anodize batching for aluminum pool pole manufacturing at Xingyong Jiangsu factory" width="400" height="300" />Anodize Batch
Anodize dye baths run by color. Smaller-than-batch orders waste dye; MOQ of barra de piscina keeps the math fair.
alt="Packaging print MOQ for aluminum pool pole manufacturing at Xingyong Jiangsu factory" width="400" height="300" />Packaging Print Run
Printed color boxes have their own MOQ — typically 500–1,000 boxes per artwork. We can pool standard color boxes across SKUs.
alt="Container fill for aluminum pool pole manufacturing at Xingyong Jiangsu factory" width="400" height="300" />Container Fill
Sea freight is most economical at 40HQ container fill. Lower volumes can ship LCL but per-piece freight rises.
