Thank you for asking. Yes, our planter box factory does have a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom dimensions, but it is flexible rather than fixed. The exact MOQ depends on the material, design complexity, and whether new tooling or molds are required. For simple size adjustments to existing planter box styles, we can often accept as few as 20 to 30 units per size. For fully custom dimensions that need new cutting templates, welding jigs, or CNC programs, the MOQ typically ranges from 50 to 100 units. If you need a completely new design with unique joinery or hardware, the MOQ may be 100 to 200 units to cover setup and production efficiency.
We understand that many buyers want to test a market before placing a large order. That is why we offer small-batch production for custom dimensions. A trial order of 10 to 20 units is possible, though the unit price will be higher because labor and material setup costs are spread over fewer pieces. We also provide samples, usually 1 to 3 pieces, so you can check dimensions, finish, and quality before committing to a bulk order. A sample fee and shipping cost apply, but we refund part of the sample fee when you place a formal order.
The MOQ also varies by material. Wooden planters, metal planters, PVC planters, and composite planters each have different production thresholds. For example, wooden planter boxes with custom dimensions may have a lower MOQ because cutting and assembly are more flexible. Metal planters may require a higher MOQ if custom bending or powder coating colors are needed. Surface treatment, color matching, and logo printing can also influence the minimum quantity.
To get an accurate MOQ for your project, please send us your required dimensions, quantity, material, surface finish, and target market. Our team will reply within 24 hours with a clear quotation, production lead time, and MOQ options. We work with wholesalers, landscapers, retailers, and online sellers worldwide. If you are planning a long-term partnership, we can often lower the MOQ after the first order. In short, yes, we have a minimum order quantity for custom dimensions, but we are committed to finding a practical solution that fits your budget and business stage.
