Why MOQ changes
MOQ can change by size, color, adhesive, fin structure and packing method. A common size in standard color is easier to plan than a custom color or special backing structure.
Use samples to control risk
Samples should be used to confirm profile fit, pile height, color, adhesive performance and packing direction. They are especially important when the buyer has an old strip or drawing to match.
Discuss lead time honestly
Lead time depends on sample approval, material availability, packing artwork, order quantity and export shipment arrangement. Buyers should separate sample time from mass production time.
Plan repeat orders
For distributors, repeat order planning helps stabilize sizes, color inventory and carton labels. Share expected monthly or quarterly demand when possible.
