How does MOQ affect unit price for body care OEM/ODM (simple pricing logic)?

Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

• At LAEYO Labs, most products start from 1,000-3,000 units.
• Simple processes can start at 1,000 units, while more complex items (e.g., sets with more packaging steps and formulas) typically start at 3,000.
• Pricing logic is straightforward: the “fixed” parts of a project (setup, packaging artwork/plates, sampling iterations, and required testing/documentation support) are similar whether you make 1,000 or 3,000, so your per-unit cost drops as volume increases.
• Timeline also ties to MOQ decisions because packaging and production scheduling are batch-based.
• Bulk production lead time is usually 10-20 working days after everything is confirmed, while packaging ordering often takes 10-30 working days.
• Typical internal time blocks include packaging checks (about 3 days), raw material production (5-7 days), raw material testing (5 days), and finished goods production (7 days).
• Packaging choices affect both MOQ and cost: outer single box is about 15 days, set box 20 days; inner packaging lead times can be glass bottle 15 days, acrylic bottle 30 days, tube 15 days.
• We can assist with testing coordination and documentation, but we do not guarantee regulatory approval outcomes.
