A minimum order quantity (MOQ) is the smallest run a manufacturer will accept for a defined product. There is no single number that fits every sportswear order, because the feasible quantity depends on the garment, fabric, colours, artwork and production setup. At Voyager Sportswear the minimum order is 100 pieces per style. When comparing other suppliers, ask each one for the minimum that applies to your actual brief.
What changes the feasible quantity?
A new style needs pattern work, cutting preparation and sewing setup, and a new fabric or custom colour may also come with a supplier minimum. For sublimated jerseys, different artwork may share the same base fabric, but the files and production plan still have to be checked. Sizes are an allocation within a style, although very small quantities in one size may affect cutting efficiency. The factory should say how it counts each variation.
How to plan the enquiry
List each garment type and each colour or design with its total quantity and size breakdown, then add the fabric composition or a reference sample, the artwork or logos, any numbering, the destination and the date you need the goods. If part of the specification is still open, say so. Voyager Sportswear can review the design and discuss fabric or design development with you. Our minimum order is 100 pieces per style, and we assess the price for each order.
When comparing suppliers, ask whether the minimum applies per style, colour, artwork or total order, and how sample pieces and repeat orders are counted. A lower quoted minimum may come with a different unit price or fabric choice, so compare the same specification and scope.
A quantity sheet a factory can work from
A single total tells the factory little about a mixed order. List these lines separately.
| Line | What to record |
|---|---|
| Match jersey | Design, fabric, colourway and quantity by size |
| Training shorts | Separate style, with quantity by size |
| Numbers on request | How many garments carry numbers and when the number list will be final |
| Repeat order | Previous order reference and the changes requested |
If the proposed run is too small, ask what sets the limit: material purchasing, cutting, sewing preparation or decoration setup. Fewer variants or a shared fabric are worth considering only if those changes still serve your buyers. Ask for the revised specification and unit price together. Combining unrelated garments into one total does not necessarily satisfy the minimum.
Questions and answers
What is the minimum order quantity at Voyager Sportswear?
The minimum order at Voyager Sportswear is 100 pieces per style. The price is assessed for each order and depends on the garment, fabric, colours, artwork and production setup. For a quotation, list each garment type and colour or design with its total quantity and size breakdown, then add the fabric or a reference sample, artwork, any numbering, destination and date needed. Mark any choice that is still open.
Is a sportswear MOQ counted per style, per colour or per order?
A sportswear MOQ can be counted per style, colour, artwork or total order, and each manufacturer should say which basis applies. A new style needs pattern work, cutting preparation and sewing setup, while a new fabric or custom colour may carry its own supplier minimum. Sizes are an allocation within a style, although very small quantities in one size may affect cutting efficiency. Ask how sample pieces and repeat orders are counted too.
What can I change if my sportswear order is below the factory's minimum?
A sportswear order below a factory's minimum may become feasible with fewer variants or one fabric shared across styles, if those changes still serve your buyers. Ask which constraint sets the limit: material purchasing, cutting, sewing preparation or decoration setup. Then request the revised specification and unit price together. Combining unrelated garments into one total does not necessarily satisfy the minimum, and an earlier run does not set a standing minimum for repeats.
