Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Non-Woven Bags: What to Expect

August 11, 2026 · shivaadmin

“What’s your MOQ?” is usually the second question after pricing when businesses enquire about non-woven bags. Here’s a straight answer on non woven bags MOQ India manufacturers typically work with, and why it varies.

Why MOQ Exists

Printing and lamination runs (especially BOPP lamination) are set up per batch — machines need to be configured for your specific size, GSM, and print design. Below a certain quantity, the setup cost per bag becomes uneconomical for both the manufacturer and the buyer, which is why every non woven bags manufacturer Punjab or elsewhere sets a minimum.

What Typically Affects MOQ

  • Print complexity — a single-colour logo has a lower MOQ than a multi-colour, full-wrap design.
  • Lamination — BOPP laminated non-woven bags often have a slightly higher MOQ than plain non-woven due to the extra lamination step.
  • Custom size/GSM — standard sizes and GSM ranges have lower MOQs than fully custom dimensions.

How to Order Below MOQ (Sample Kits)

If you’re not ready to commit to a bulk order yet, most reputable manufacturers — including us — offer a small sample kit (typically 30-35 pieces) with your actual design and material, so you can test quality and fit before scaling up. This is the standard way to evaluate a BOPP laminated bags manufacturer before placing a bulk order.

Tips to Get the Best MOQ Terms

  1. Stick to standard sizes and GSM where possible — custom specs push MOQ up.
  2. Keep print colours to 1-3 for your first order; you can always upgrade design complexity on repeat orders.
  3. Ask if the manufacturer offers a sample kit before bulk commitment — it de-risks your first order significantly.
