Private label MOQ explained: how the minimum is counted
Our minimum is 50 pieces per item for coffee wood, Gorilla coffee wood, loofah, hemp and coco coir toys, and 100 per item for pet beds and other lines. It is counted per product code, not per size and not per order. Your own label or logo does not raise it: private label orders have the same minimum as plain ones.

What "per item" means
An item is one product code, such as our coffee wood chew. A size is not a separate item. Size names differ between buyers, and we pack by product code. Our coffee wood codes run CC01XS to CC01XXL, and an order of 50 coffee wood chews split across four sizes is one valid line.
On Amazon, each size is its own variation with its own barcode, so a seller may think of four sizes as four SKUs. For our minimum, they are still one item. We write "per item" for that reason, and how the barcodes work is in Amazon size variations and barcodes.
The minimum for each line
| Line | Minimum per item | Can sizes be mixed? |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee wood chews | 50 pcs | Yes, any split across sizes |
| Gorilla coffee wood | 50 pcs | Yes |
| Loofah toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per shape |
| Hemp toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per item |
| Coco coir toys | 50 pcs | Ask us per item |
| Pet beds | 100 pcs | Ask us per model |
Several lines can go in one order and one shipment, each with its own minimum. How that works is on our mixed orders page.
Does private label change the minimum?
No. Printing your logo or using your own label has the same minimum as plain goods. What changes is the work around it:
- Tags: our standard tag is 5 × 9 cm, in kraft or eco cardboard. If you want another size, we print to yours. Your tag goes inside the bag.
- Barcodes: you create them, for example in Seller Central, and we print them, one code per size.
- Design: if you want us to design the label, tag or box, design is a paid service, quoted with your order.
- Laser engraving of your logo on coffee wood is charged, quoted with the order, and starts only once the order is confirmed.
- Sets: packing in sets of two or three is charged on top.
The packing options are on our packing page, and a full first-launch walk-through is in launching a private label dog chew brand.
Why we suggest 100 when 50 is the minimum
Larger quantities lower the shipping cost per piece, so we suggest 100. That is advice only. 50 per item is the real minimum, and we quote price breaks by volume.
For a first order, 50 lets you test a line without much stock. If it sells, the next order can be larger.
What a first private label order can look like
Take three items: 50 coffee wood chews split across four sizes, 50 hemp balls and 50 loofah teddy bears. Each line meets its own minimum, and all three travel in the same shipment. Your tag goes in each bag, your barcodes go on the outside, and the cartons carry our standard shipping mark or your own form.
For plain goods, 50–200 pcs take 8–10 days from the day we receive your deposit. With your own label or box, the timing depends on the artwork, so we confirm it once we have the design file. As a reference for private label and FBA orders, from 5,000 pcs it is 25–30 days, and longer when the requirements are complex.
Custom shapes and custom samples
Standard loofah shapes are Teddy Bear, Fish, Cat, Kitty, Bone and Duck. A shape of your own needs a mould, which we discuss before starting. The mould fee is not refunded.
Samples from our range: your first 3 are free, you pay the shipping. Fully custom samples are charged. As a reference for private label and FBA, samples take 10–15 days from the day the design is approved.
