What is the minimum order quantity for flash memory products?
MOQ is not one number for every product. It is set by the capacity, the controller solution and how much customisation is involved, and it is confirmed against your specific quotation rather than read from a generic table. A standard-capacity, unprinted TF card run starts lower than a bespoke-moulded USB drive with custom artwork, because tooling and branding change the economics of the batch. The useful habit is to send us the product, capacity, quantity and application, and we confirm the MOQ and the price in the same reply. When you compare suppliers, ask each one to state the MOQ against the same specification — a number quoted without a stated configuration is not comparable to another number.
Why there is no single MOQ
Minimum order quantity follows the work involved, not a fixed company policy.
- Capacity and controller solution — some configurations are economic only above a certain volume
- Customisation — printing, engraving and bespoke moulds each add a setup that is amortised across the batch
- Packaging — retail and presentation packaging carry their own minimums
How to get a real number
Tell us the product, capacity, quantity and application. We return an MOQ and a price tied to that configuration, so you are comparing like with like when you shop around.

Frequently asked questions
What is the smallest order you will take?
It depends on the configuration. Send your specification and we will confirm the minimum that makes the batch economic — we will not quote a generic figure that does not apply to your project.
Does branding increase the MOQ?
Standard printing usually does not move the MOQ much; a bespoke mould does, because the tooling is amortised across the run. Tell us whether you need standard branding or a custom shape and we will show the difference in the quotation.
Can I order a sample before committing to the MOQ?
Yes. Samples are available and recommended before a volume order, particularly for printed artwork or a bespoke mould. See our guide on how samples work for the practical steps.
