Low and high volume production means planning production quantities flexibly according to your brand's growth stage. New brands test the market with a low first run, while brands with growing sales can move to high-volume production with the same formula.
Who is low volume production for?
- New brands that want to test the market
- Entrepreneurs selling online with limited stock
- Brands preparing seasonal or campaign products
- Companies trialling a new product before adding it to their range
What are the benefits of high volume production?
- Lower unit cost
- Bulk purchasing advantages for packaging and raw materials
- Stock continuity through a planned delivery schedule
- Sufficient capacity for retail chains and export orders
What determines the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The minimum order quantity is not a single fixed number; it depends on:
- Formula: MOQs are generally lower for ready-made formulas than for custom formulas.
- Packaging: Stock packaging works with low quantities; custom-printed or custom-moulded packaging has supplier minimums.
- Batch size: The minimum volume at which production equipment runs efficiently.
- Product variety: Producing the same formula in different pack sizes balances the cost.
How is production scaled?
The formula, batch records and quality control criteria approved in the first run are applied unchanged to later runs. As volumes grow, your product's texture, scent and performance stay consistent.
