When you’re ordering bulk private label nasal strips, unit price is the least useful number you can ask for first. What actually decides the deal is the combination of minimum order quantity, how pricing tiers down at volume, lead time, and your total landed cost under DDP. Here’s how each works, in the order a professional buyer should settle them.
How MOQ actually works (it depends on customization)
There isn’t one MOQ for “a nasal strip.” The minimum scales with how much you customize:
- Logo / basic print is the lightest customization and carries the lowest minimum.
- Custom scent, positioned or repeating print, and cold-air paper packaging raise the minimum.
- Custom die-cut shapes carry a higher minimum and a one-time mold setup, because tooling is involved.
So the honest answer to “what’s your MOQ?” is: it depends on your configuration, and we confirm the exact range for your spec. If you’re launching and want to validate the market first, tell us — there are lighter-customization routes designed to keep the first order lower-risk before you scale.
One piece of judgment here: I wouldn’t chase the absolute lowest MOQ if it means locking a spec you haven’t sample-tested. A slightly larger first order of a design you’ve validated beats a tiny order you end up regretting — the goal is lower risk, not just a smaller number.
One practical detail when you model quantities: a pack typically holds 15–30 strips, and the count per pack is customizable with no fixed requirement — so define your pack size early, since it changes how your order converts between “packs” and “pieces.”
Tip when comparing suppliers: insist the MOQ is quoted against your exact spec (print, packaging, shape), not as a single headline number — otherwise you’re comparing different things.
How tiered pricing works
Pricing is volume-based: the per-unit cost steps down as order quantity rises, and certain one-time costs (such as a mold for a custom shape, or sampling fees for some options) are separate from the per-unit price. Rather than publish numbers that only make sense against a finished spec, we confirm your tier structure for your configuration and volume in the quote. That way the comparison you make is real, not a teaser price that changes once customization is added.
Lead time
Plan on roughly 3 days for samples and around 15 days for standard production, extending to about 20–25 days when custom packaging or a custom die-cut shape is involved. Production capacity runs to roughly 10 million pieces per month, so volume itself is rarely the constraint — your spec and customization drive the timeline. Exact dates are confirmed per order.
DDP, Incoterms, and who invoices — the landed-cost questions
This is the cluster professional buyers raise almost word-for-word: “Is this DDP? Which Incoterms? Payment terms? Is invoicing from a China company or a European one?” They’re right to — landed cost, not unit price, is what hits their margin.
We can ship DDP, door-to-door, worldwide, with customs cleared on both sides, so you can plan against a delivered cost rather than a factory-gate price. The specific Incoterms, payment terms, and invoicing entity are confirmed per order — and we settle them before the quote is final, not after, so there are no surprises at customs.
The fastest way to a real number
Because MOQ, tiers, lead time and DDP all depend on your specification, a generic price list won’t help you — a spec-based quote will. Send us:
- your target product (print, packaging, color, shape, scent — whatever applies),
- your rough volume, and
- your destination country.
We’ll return a spec-based quote: MOQ and tier structure for that configuration, lead time, and a DDP option for your country.
Request a spec-based quote and we’ll prepare it for your market.
Note: MOQ, pricing tiers, lead time, Incoterms and invoicing are confirmed per order and product version before a quote is final. Nasal strips are positioned for breathing comfort and are not described as treating any medical condition.
