| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Typical MOQ | From about 2,000 units for many projects on existing molds |
| Custom packaging MOQ | Discussable from about 2,000 units |
| What keeps MOQ low | Existing tooling, standard media, molded-in or plated finishes already in production |
| What raises it | Custom colors per SKU, new packaging structures, new molds, special materials, small quantities split across many variants |
| Below 2,000 | Email the model and quantity; the factory says whether it is workable as-is or better staged |
| Staging a first order | One model, one or two colors, standard box, refill cartridges added later |
| Timing | About 30 days of production on an existing mold as a guide |
Why 2,000 is the number
A shower head order runs through injection molding, finishing, assembly on a production line, a water test on every unit and packing. Setting up a line for a few hundred units costs almost as much as for a few thousand, and packaging printers have their own minimums. Around 2,000 units the economics work for the factory and the buyer, which is why ZHONGHE quotes that as the typical starting point rather than a marketing figure.
The number stays low because the factory keeps 115 molds live. A buyer using an existing model pays no tooling and waits no 60 days for a mold; the order is branding, color, media and box.
How to keep a first order at the minimum
Choose one existing model and at most two colors, because each color is a separate molding run. Use a standard packaging structure with your artwork rather than a new box design. Keep the cartridge media to a standard blend. Add the refill SKU as a second order once the head sells. Split variants raise the effective minimum: 2,000 units across five colors is five small runs, not one.
When the quantity is smaller than 2,000
Send the model and the quantity to [email protected]. Some models and finishes can be run smaller, especially chrome or white standard items already in production; others cannot. The factory replies with a straight answer and, where useful, a staged plan: a smaller first run with stock packaging, then a full run with custom packaging.
