Low MOQ Cosmetics Sourcing (5,000 units)

For beauty startups and importers, launching with low minimum order quantities (MOQ) is the best way to manage initial inventory risk. In Korean cosmetics manufacturing, 5,000 units is the standard threshold for entry-level production. We coordinate with specialized our manufacturing facility in Cheongju, Korea to enable production at 5,000 units per SKU, avoiding false promises of 100 or 500 unit runs which are not viable on industrial automated lines.
