For new Amazon sellers and small e-commerce brands, low MOQ production in China is a huge advantage. Today, many factories accept small batches to support startup brands.

Here’s how to source low MOQ products and prepare them correctly for Amazon FBA.

1. Choose Product Categories That Support Low MOQ

Not all products can be produced in small quantities. These categories work best:

• Home & kitchen

• Pet products

• Beauty accessories

• Gift items

• Textile products

• Simple electronics (non-cert required)

These categories allow 50–300pcs MOQ easily.

2. Use Factories That Specialize in Small Batch Production

Many new-generation factories in Zhejiang, Yiwu, Shenzhen are optimized for:

• Quick tooling

• Fast sample creation

• Small-batch flexibility

• Lower mold cost

Ask suppliers directly:
“Do you support low MOQ orders for startups?”

3. Amazon FBA Packaging Requirements

Before production, confirm:

• FNSKU label position

• Suffocation warning

• Box durability standards

• Carton size (not exceeding FBA limits)

• Barcode clarity

• Export carton labeling

A factory with FBA experience will handle these smoothly.

4. Quality Control Is Even More Important for Small MOQ

Because small batches have tighter profit margins, one defective shipment can ruin the entire order.

Use:

• Pre-production sample

• Mid-production photo updates

• Final inspection before shipping

This protects your listing from negative reviews.

5. Choose the Best Shipping Method for Amazon Warehouses

For small Amazon orders (100–500pcs):

• Air freight + local courier

• Express (DHL/UPS/FedEx)

• Sea freight (for bulky products only)

Ask the supplier to provide:

• Carton dimensions

• Weight

• HS code

• Volumetric weight

This helps you estimate FBA landing costs accurately.

Low MOQ production + smart FBA sourcing is the fastest way for new sellers to enter the market with minimal risk.
