Information about our manufacturing minimums
PROTOTYPE vs. The Competition
Our Black Label minimums start at only...
100
Pieces Per Color*
Our manufacturing minimums for Black Label services are designed to give you flexibility without compromising on quality. We offer low minimums of only 100 pieces per color and 300 per style. This means you can order 100 pcs in 3 different colors or 300 pcs in 1 color, with sizes varying within those quantities. A minimum order value also applies—contact us for updates and availability.
Our Competitors high minimums...
1000 +
Pieces Per Color*
Our competitors rely on high quantity orders to reach their goals. This means they typically only work with large, established labels and aren’t interested in startups and smaller brands. Unlike them, our manufacturing minimums are designed to support growing businesses with flexible order sizes, making it easier for new labels to launch without overwhelming commitments.
Looking for a Smaller Order Quantity?
If you’re looking for a very small order quantity for a startup or to test the market on a new product, we can still provide you with valuable assistance. At that scale, it can be extremely challenging to find a reputable manufacturer for custom goods. However, any client utilizing our Black Label product development services will be eligible for our Referral Service.
For a low, flat fee, we’ll put you in touch with qualified manufacturers, provide you with a contract template, a set of instructions for our recommended procedures, and help you ensure the security of your payments. You will have the responsibility of managing your own order, but our valuable assistance will save you time and money especially when paired with our manufacturing minimums that are designed to support both startups and growing brands.
Small to Large-Scale Manufacturing Solutions
From startups to established brands, Prototype offers solutions for any size need.
Breaking the MOQ Barrier
The manufacturing industry is all about volume. Higher volume equals lower pricing, and everyone seems most concerned about prices. But there’s far more to MOQ than just cost savings.
With things as they are, it’s particularly difficult for small labels and startups to have their manufacturing needs met. This, unfortunately, forces many small businesses out of the marketplace entirely.
If you’ve been through it before, you know how frustrating it is to contact endless clothing manufacturers, ask their MOQ, and try to get a quote. Even if you offer to pay more, most of the time they’ll just ignore you. Maybe you’ll get a half-hearted sample, and they’ll ghost you afterwards. It’s an awful lot like using a dating app. Lots of leads, then lots of one-night stands.
Fortunately, there’s a better way! Our manufacturing minimums are tailored to support startups and smaller brands, ensuring you don’t get shut out of the market by unrealistic requirements.
Low MOQ, High Quality
Rather than rely on a high volume of orders from just a few clients, we have developed a unique system whereby we instead leverage our large quantity of smaller orders to simulate the efficiency of large orders. In this way, we can offer high quality at a reasonable quantity and price.
Our worldwide network of relationships works in favor of the suppliers and manufacturers as well. Prototype can supply a steady stream of reliable manufacturing jobs to smaller factories that otherwise struggle to find new clients.
With our manufacturing minimums, Prototype offers the best combination of low MOQ custom manufacturing with high-quality results of any company in the industry. Unlike traditional models, our system is built to empower startups, emerging labels, and small businesses. This makes us the go-to choice for brands that want premium quality without the burden of unrealistic manufacturing requirements.

More About "MOQ"
With private label clothing, you’ll be able to make selections such as a choice of fabrics, prints, or even supplying your own print. You may also be able to make certain design decisions such as the type of collar, button or zipper selection, placement of pockets, or other design features.
Private Label differs from White Label in that there is a wider selection of customization options. A good way to think about it is that white label products would typically be something that could be ready-made and simply have your branding applied and sent to you. With private labeling, however, all the products are made-to-order.
In fashion, private label products can often be customized in the following ways…
- Choose from Wide Variety of Fabrics
- Select from Available Colors or Custom Prints. Custom Dye Sometimes Available.
- Select from Various Findings and Finish Options: Zippers, Buttons, etc.
- Customize Key Measurements, Such as neck opening, Sleeve length, etc.
- Select location of branding, logo and other print & embroidery options
