A free 2026 reference for the numbers that decide your inventory risk: typical minimum order quantities, sample and bulk lead times, and capacity across China, Vietnam and India.
| Supplier type | Typical MOQ / style | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Large trading company | 300 – 1,000 pcs | Big-box retailers, large distributors |
| Mid-size factory | 100 – 500 pcs | Established brands, repeat orders |
| Flexible manufacturer (Jinman) | 1 pc (in-stock) / 100 pcs (custom) | Startups, boutiques, Amazon sellers, test batches |
| Print-on-demand / marketplace | 1 – 30 pcs | Micro-brands (higher unit cost, limited customization) |
| Stage | Typical time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock sample | 3 – 5 days | Shipped from existing inventory |
| Custom-logo sample | 5 – 7 days | New logo/hardware on a base style |
| In-stock bulk | 7 – 15 days | Production + QC + packing |
| Custom OEM / ODM bulk | 20 – 35 days | From approved sample |
| Shipping (air) | 5 – 7 days | Express, higher cost |
| Shipping (sea) | 15 – 30 days | Economical for volume |
Rule of thumb: a custom order runs about 4–8 weeks door-to-door (sample + bulk + shipping). Stock orders can reach you in 2–3 weeks.
| Region | MOQ flexibility | Lead time | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇨🇳 China (Yiwu) | Very high (1 pc possible) | Fastest sampling | Deepest supply chain, lowest risk for small orders |
| 🇻🇳 Vietnam | Medium (often 300+ pcs) | Medium | Competitive at scale, EU trade preferences |
| 🇮🇳 India | Medium | Medium–long | Leather heritage, local market access |

It varies by supplier. Large trading companies often require 300–1,000 pcs per style; mid-size factories 100–500 pcs; and flexible manufacturers like Jinman offer 1 piece for in-stock designs and 100 pcs per style for custom OEM/ODM. Low-MOQ suppliers let small brands test the market with almost no inventory risk.
For in-stock designs, production/shipping prep is 7–15 days. For custom OEM/ODM, sample development takes 5–7 days and bulk production 20–35 days, plus 5–30 days shipping depending on air or sea. Plan roughly 4–8 weeks door-to-door for a custom order.
China (especially Yiwu) has the deepest supply chain and the most low-MOQ flexibility, with the fastest sampling. Vietnam and India are competitive at higher volumes but typically require larger MOQs and longer lead times. For a first small order, China is usually the fastest and lowest-risk.
