MOQ 1,000 Pieces: How to Plan Colours, Sizes and Order Quantities
A clear order breakdown makes a garment quotation more useful. Before requesting prices from a clothing sourcing agent, decide which style you need, how many colours to offer and how the quantity should be divided between sizes.
RAEM International works with B2B buyers on garment sourcing from Bangladesh, with an MOQ of 1,000 pieces. Confirm the applicable minimum for each style, fabric and colour in your quotation; a 1,000-piece order does not automatically mean that every colour or design combination is feasible.
1. Start with one clear product specification
Share your tech pack or reference garment, fabric composition, GSM, measurements, print or embroidery artwork, labels and packing requirements. Different fabrics, constructions or artworks can change production requirements and cost. Keep the first collection focused and ask which variations can share materials.
2. Agree the colour split before sampling
For illustration, a 1,000-piece order might be split into 600 navy and 400 black garments. This is a planning example, subject to factory and fabric approval. Ask about minimum dyeing quantities, available fabric, colour matching and any surcharge before committing to the split.
3. Build a size ratio from customer demand
Use sales history, pre-orders or customer research to choose a size curve. Avoid dividing the order equally simply because it is convenient. An illustrative breakdown is shown below; it is not a recommended ratio for every market.
| Colour | S | M | L | XL | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Navy | 90 | 210 | 210 | 90 | 600 |
| Black | 60 | 140 | 140 | 60 | 400 |
| Total | 150 | 350 | 350 | 150 | 1,000 |
4. Compare quotations on the same basis
Ask suppliers to quote against the same fabric, quantity, size range, decoration, labels, packaging and delivery terms. Confirm sample charges and whether testing or inspection is included. For an FOB quotation, budget separately for freight, insurance where applicable, import duties, taxes and destination handling.
5. Approve the details before bulk production
Confirm the approved sample, measurement tolerances, colour standard, size breakdown, packaging and inspection requirements in writing. Agree how shortages, overproduction and defective pieces will be handled. RAEM's indicative lead time is around 90 days FOB, subject to order details, approvals, material availability and the confirmed production schedule.
