What does MOQ mean for custom frozen desserts?

The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for private label ice cream is quoted in cartons and is structured in clear levels. Packaging-level private label is constrained by the minimum print run for packaging materials, whereas deeper OEM or ODM arrangements must also account for line changeover and cleaning costs, resulting in a higher minimum. Buyers should always ask suppliers which specific level their figure refers to and whether the count is per item or per carton.

Why is MOQ quoted in cartons instead of pieces?

Are samples included under the initial MOQ? Samples are typically provided free of sample fees, with freight costs covered by the buyer, prior to confirming the initial order.
