MOQ — Poland corporate merch
How minimum order quantities work for branded merch produced in Poland — standard tiers, premium exceptions and split-design rules.
MOQ — quick answer
Standard MOQs for printed merch in Poland follow four tiers: 50, 100, 250 and 500 pcs. Premium items (leather goods, embroidered apparel, engraved metal) start from 30 pcs. Complex multi-colour designs push the entry MOQ up one tier. Multi-design splits across the same blank are allowed within a single PO as long as the combined run hits the tier.
Detailed FAQ — MOQ
Absolute minimum?
30 pcs on premium items (leather notebooks, embroidered polos, engraved bottles). 50 pcs on most standard apparel, drinkware and bags. Below 30 pcs we quote DTF-only at a higher per-unit rate.
Why do MOQs exist?
Setup costs (screens, films, plates, dyes, sublimation paper, embroidery digitisation) are fixed per artwork. Below 50 pcs setup dominates the unit price; above 50 pcs the per-unit cost stabilises.
Can I order 75 pcs?
Yes. MOQ tiers are minimums, not fixed quantities. 75, 130, 320 pcs are fine — pricing interpolates between tier rates.
Different sizes count?
Yes. For apparel the MOQ applies to the SKU (same blank + same print). Mixed sizes within one run all count.
Split designs?
Yes. Same blank, two different prints (e.g. two regional offices) can share a 100-pc tier as 50+50. Each design pays its own setup but stays in tier pricing.
If MOQ is higher than need?
We hold the surplus in our Polish warehouse under a small storage fee and call-off over 6–12 months. Cheaper than repeated small runs.
Are MOQs higher for embroidery?
Embroidery digitisation is a one-time fee (40–80 EUR). MOQ stays at 50 pcs but below that the fee weighs heavily on per-unit cost.
MOQ vs KSeF?
No interaction. KSeF e-invoicing applies to any order size; you receive a KSeF reference number regardless of quantity.
Poland-specific notes
Most of our Polish clients run 50–250 pc orders for trade-fair giveaways at MTP Poznań, EXPO XXI Warszawa, PTAK Warsaw Expo and EXPO Kraków, with VAT 23% on KSeF e-invoices. Bulk orders above 500 pcs are common for retail-chain rollouts and IT-conference campaigns (Infoshare, Web Summit Warsaw); payment 50% deposit / 50% on delivery via SEPA or PLN Elixir, or Net 30 for recurring clients.
