Why Low MOQ Matters for Amateur Teams and Schools

If you are a school team, amateur club, or small sports brand, you have probably run into this problem: factories that refuse orders under 100 or even 300 pieces. High minimum order quantities (MOQ) are one of the biggest barriers for small teams. Here is why low MOQs matter — and why they should matter to you.

What Is MOQ?

MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is the smallest number of pieces a factory will produce for one order. Many uniform manufacturers set MOQs of 50, 100, or more because screen printing and cut-and-sew production only become profitable at volume.

The Problem with High MOQs

• Wasted money: You end up buying more uniforms than you need.
• Storage: Extra stock takes up space and may become outdated.
• Cash flow: A big upfront order ties up budget that could be used elsewhere.
• Risk: If the design changes or players leave, you are stuck with old uniforms.

Why Low MOQ Helps Teams

With a low MOQ like ours — just 10 pieces — you can:

• Order exactly what your roster needs.
• Test a new design or colorway without a huge commitment.
• Add new players later with a small reorder.
• Keep your uniform budget flexible season to season.

Samples and Reorders

Low MOQs also make sampling easy. At Toway Sportswear, we make samples even for orders below 10 pieces. Once your team loves the sample, you can reorder in any quantity — and because we are the factory, reorders are quick and consistent.

Cost Considerations

Some buyers worry that low MOQ means higher per-piece prices. That is often true for screen printing, which needs expensive setup. But with sublimation printing, there are no screens and no setup fees, so we can keep prices fair even for small orders. No setup fees, no hidden charges — the quote is the price.

The Bottom Line

Low MOQ gives small teams the same professional look as big clubs, without over-ordering. If you need 10, 20, or 50 custom uniforms, you do not have to settle for generic stock apparel. Email micky@towaysportswear.com or WhatsApp +86 158 8944 8617 and get a quote today.
