How MOQ and Sampling Work at Hongfeng: A Buyer's Q&A

Importers, wholesalers and brand owners often ask two questions before a first order. How much do we need to buy, and can we check the product first? This Q&A explains how minimum order quantities (MOQs) and samples work at Hongfeng.

Hongfeng has been making PVC self-adhesive materials since 2009. We make products to order for business buyers and do not sell retail. We also take OEM/ODM projects.

What is the MOQ for a Hongfeng order?

Our MOQ depends on how a product is sold. Products sold by the roll have an MOQ of 3,280 yards. Products sold by the piece have an MOQ of 3,000 pcs.

Where a product page lists an MOQ, you will find it in the specifications table. If a page does not list one, ask us in your inquiry. We will confirm the MOQ when we send your quote.

Which products are sold by the roll, and which by the piece?

Frosted window film is sold by the roll. Our PVC Pure Frosted Window Film lists an MOQ of 3,280 yards. So does our Static Electricity White Frosted Window Film, which is a static cling film with no adhesive.

Book sleeves are sold by the piece. Our Clear Book Sleeves list an MOQ of 3,000 pcs. For other product lines, check the product page or ask us before you plan your order.

Why is there an MOQ at all?

We do not keep ready-made goods for retail sale. Each order is produced to the buyer's material, size and packing requirements. Setting up a production run takes time and material, so the MOQ keeps each run practical for both sides.

The MOQ also helps you plan. When you know the minimum for each product, you can work out how many products, colors or sizes fit into your first order.

Can I mix colors or designs to reach the MOQ?

Many buyers want several colors or designs in one order. If that is your plan, list each color or design with its own quantity in your inquiry. We will then tell you how your order counts toward the MOQ.

What can I customize in a bulk order?

Our product pages list material, size and packing as customizable. For PVC Pure Frosted Window Film, you can also choose the application: static cling or self-adhesive. For book sleeves, size and packing are customizable.

Several of our product pages also list customer logo printing as an option. Please send your artwork with your inquiry. We will confirm the printing method and whether printed items have a separate MOQ.

Can I get a sample before I place a bulk order?

Yes. You can request a sample before you commit to a bulk order. A sample lets you check the color, surface and feel of the material against your own requirements.

In your inquiry, tell us that you would like a sample, and whether you need a standard sample or one made to your size, color or design. We will reply with the sample arrangements for your project.

What should I check when I receive a sample?

A sample tells you more when you test it the way your customers will use the product. We suggest you check these points:

• Color and surface, compared with your reference or your market's needs
• Thickness and feel, if these matter to your customers
• How the product goes on: static cling film holds without adhesive, while self-adhesive film uses an adhesive layer
• How it looks on your own glass, walls or books
• Packing and labels, if you plan a private-label product

Write down your comments and send them to us with your order details. This makes it easier to agree on any changes before bulk production starts.

What should I include in my inquiry?

A complete inquiry saves time on both sides. Please include as many of these details as you can:

• The product name or a link to the product page
• Format: rolls or pieces
• Size, color or design for each item
• The quantity for each item, compared with the MOQ
• Packing needs, such as private-label packing
• Your destination country

Each quote is based on your specification and quantity.

How do I get started?

Send your requirements through the Send Inquiry form on our website. Tell us which products you are interested in, the formats you need and your planned quantities.

Request a quote for your bulk order, and request a sample if you want to check the material first. We will go through the MOQ, the customization options and any open questions with you before production.
