MOQ negotiation for children’s products
Lower MOQs help cash flow but can make per-unit testing expensive. Negotiate trial MOQs with a clear path to production quantities that justify CPSC-accepted testing — and never skip testing to hit a price.
Negotiation levers
- Shared materials across SKUs to amortize testing.
- Paid samples / tooling vs MOQ trade.
- Phased colorways after the base passes.
Questions people ask
Can I sell the sample run?
Only if it matches the certified production configuration and you can support documents.
What MOQ is “normal” for toys?
Varies wildly by process — ask with your exact construction, not generic internet numbers.
