Why low MOQ is a game changer for small brands
Most manufacturers require 500+ pieces minimum. Here is why we built Garmops around 50 — and what it means for brands just getting started.

Start with demand, not inventory
A smaller first run lets a brand test fit, colour, pricing, and demand without tying up months of cash in stock. The first order becomes a learning cycle rather than a long-term bet.
At 50 pieces, it is practical to launch one focused design, gather customer feedback, and use real sell-through data to plan the next production run.
More room to improve
Smaller batches make iteration affordable. You can adjust the size split, artwork placement, or garment weight between runs instead of living with the same decision across hundreds of units.
The trade-off is a higher unit price than mass production. For an early-stage label, lower inventory risk and faster learning often matter more than the lowest possible per-piece cost.
