Oulete’s minimum quantity depends on whether you use an existing tool, change the material or color, or develop a new mold. Confirm the complete container and decoration specification before treating a quantity or schedule as a firm quotation.
Minimum order quantities
| Container material | MOQ |
|---|---|
| Plastic | 2,000 pieces |
| Glass | 5,000 pieces |
Confirm the selected model, components, decoration and any new tooling in the project quotation. Material MOQ does not confirm an available complete assembly or delivery date.
Partner-supplied components can carry different minimums. Ask for the container, pump or closure and decoration quantities in the same quote.
Turn a production lead time into an arrival-date plan
State whether your deadline means dispatch from the factory or arrival at your destination. Ask for the quotation to identify the selected container, sourced components, decoration and tooling, with a quantity and approval step for each. The published starting quantities and typical production windows are planning references; the complete assembly and agreed schedule determine your order.
| Quote line | What to confirm before comparing offers |
|---|---|
| Body and matched closure or pump | Model, drawing revision, component quantities, separate minimums and dated availability. |
| Color and decoration | Parts covered, artwork and finish approval, sample charge and any separate setup cost. |
| New tooling, if required | Which parts need tools, drawing and sample stages, ownership wording and refund conditions in the quotation. |
| Delivery | Approval date, production and dispatch dates, destination, freight and responsibility for customs. |
Can 2,000 empty packs arrive within one week?
Send the exact model, full component combination, decoration requirement and delivery address. Request a current stock check and dated dispatch proposal. A listed production window does not establish available stock or an arrival date for that request.
Can a 5,000-piece order use a new custom shape?
Identify which geometry must change and which existing parts could remain. Quantity alone does not approve a new-tool project. Review the customization routes and request a quotation for the actual tooling and assembly scope.
Production planning
| Work | Typical lead time |
|---|---|
| Sampling | 3–5 days |
| Undecorated containers | 12–15 days |
| Decorated containers | 18–22 days |
| New-tool projects | 25–30 days |
Timing depends on specification approval, materials and the agreed order schedule. Transit and customs time are separate. Repeat orders may save about five days compared with the corresponding first order; this does not mean a five-day total production cycle. Rush work is quoted with a 10–20% surcharge where feasible.
Tooling ownership
The factory questionnaire gives RMB 8,000–15,000 as a tooling reference range. A new design can require a different tooling scope, so request an itemized quotation. Paid tooling belongs to the customer with written ownership confirmation and long-term storage. The agreed cumulative order volume determines when the tooling charge is refunded in full.
Shipping and payment
Payment terms can use T/T or L/C. FOB Ningbo is the default shipping basis; EXW, CIF, CFR, DDP and DAP may be quoted for the project. Ask for freight, duties and delivery responsibilities to be stated explicitly.

Put the specification to work
Prepare a sample request. The tool shows its inputs and limits before you use the result in a project brief.
