Urgent Custom Boxes has released a new packaging program with a low minimum order quantity (low-MOQ) to aid new businesses in minimizing direct costs while testing their products in the market.
The program lowers the minimum amount needed to order by up to 40% for certain types of packaging. This helps businesses check if customers are interested in their products, improve branding, and test shipping durability before ordering large quantities.
Experts say that high minimum order requirements are a big problem for new brands, especially in retail, e-commerce, and subscription businesses. Making smaller batches can help companies reduce risks and save money when they first launch products.
The low-MOQ program covers several types of packaging commonly used by growing brands, such as:
- Businesses that want to order custom candle boxes in smaller amounts for boutique stores, seasonal sales, or subscription kits.
- Companies needing custom folding paperboard boxes for light retail products that need to look neat and be easy to ship.
- Food, wellness, as well as specialty brands seeking custom smell-proof mylar bags for product samples, special flavors, or testing in specific markets.
The minimum order amount depends on the materials, print details, and design choices. The company also provides guidance based on the product size, where it will be sold, as well as how quickly it needs to be ready.
Helping New Brands Manage Risks:
New brands often test their products in small batches before making large orders. Research shows that doing small runs can help reduce the risk of having too much unsold stock and help predict demand more accurately.
The new program helps by offering:
- Small production runs for test launches
- Packaging that works for both retail and direct-to-consumer sales
- Testing for special or seasonal products
- Gradual growth as sales data comes in
Urgent Custom Boxes suggests that brands with set retail deadlines should start planning their packaging early to meet the production schedule.
