What is the minimum order for custom tote bags?
For our knit totes, many stock designs start from 2 pcs and custom colours, jacquard patterns and knitted-in logos start from about 300 pcs per design. A woven label or patch on a stock design can often start lower than a fully custom jacquard. Your quotation states the MOQ for the exact specification.
