Perfume Bottle MOQ: How Small Can a First Order Be?

Updated 2026-10-15 · QARURA buyer guide

Short answer

With stock bottles, a first perfume order can start from 300 pieces per design at QARURA, including logo printing. Glass factories themselves usually want several thousand pieces per item, so small orders go through a supplier who combines them. A complete set follows its highest minimum: if one part needs 1,000 pieces, the set needs 1,000.

Why factories set high minimums

Glass is made continuously in a furnace. Changing a production line to another bottle, colour or decoration takes hours of setup and wastes glass, so factories prefer long runs. Printing, hot foil and spray coating have their own setup costs per design. That is why a single factory quote often starts at 5,000 to 10,000 pieces.

Exact minimums depend on the item and process; your written quote confirms them.

How to keep a first order small

  • Choose a stock bottle instead of a custom shape.
  • Use standard pump colours (gold, silver, black) and a catalog cap.
  • Decorate with one-colour screen print or hot foil rather than full spray coating.
  • Keep one box size for all scents and change only the label or sticker.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for custom perfume bottles?

Stock perfume bottles with your logo start from 300 pieces per design at QARURA. A bottle made from your own mold starts from 500 pieces.

Why is the price per bottle higher in small orders?

Setup work for printing, packing and quality checks is spread over fewer pieces, and small orders are packed and shipped by hand.

Can I order different scents in one order?

Yes. Several scents can share the same bottle, pump and cap, with a different label or print colour for each.
