No minimum order quantity, no compromises – how “No MOQ” works with us

A pouch? Sure. A label? Also sure. With us you can genuinely order from a single unit – whether that’s a stand-up pouch, a roll label or a multi-layer label. No minimum quantity, no surcharge “because it’s too little”. And yes: that is deliberate.

Because hardly any question comes up as often at trade fairs and in consultations as this one: “How do you actually manage premium packaging and labels in the smallest of print runs, with no minimum order quantity?” The answer lies in our entire setup: digital printing, standardisation, automation – and an attitude that matters more to us than short-term efficiency.

Why “No MOQ” matters so much to us

For us, the absence of a minimum order quantity isn’t a marketing feature, it’s a statement.

We work with brands that are only just starting out, with small batches, with test campaigns and with manufacturers who deliberately release limited editions. With conventional minimum quantities of 1,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 units, all of these customers would need capital, storage space and nerves that they often simply don’t have.

We never wanted a setup that only works for large orders. We wanted one that works for you. Whether you are launching your first product, testing a new design or thinking in seasons.

How this is technically possible at all

In short: we print digitally, and our entire system is built to produce small quantities as economically as a large print run.

With conventional printing (flexo, rotary) small print runs simply don’t pay off. Every setup needs printing plates, make-ready time and material waste. With us, all of that falls away: your file goes straight from the configurator into production. No tooling, no plates, no long set-up times.

To keep that running smoothly, we work with clearly defined standard formats. For packaging, for example, with ten defined sizes that we produce in shared production runs. That way many small orders can share a single run. It reduces waste, cuts costs and is what makes the small print run possible in the first place.

And behind it all runs a great deal of automation: checking your files, creating the production data, passing it on to the press – much of that happens digitally and without manual steps in between. It saves time and makes even an order of five commercially sensible.

What that means for you in practice

That you no longer have to choose between “really good design” and “commercially justifiable”.

You can order your label as a print proof beforehand – a single unit on the final material – and check for real how your colours, your logo and your lamination look in the original. Before the bulk order goes out.

You can order several design variants in parallel instead of settling on one version and hoping. Different flavours, different languages, seasonal editions. None of it is a problem.

And in a single order you can combine several SKUs, as long as material and size stay the same. That way you still get the best unit price across different designs.

What stays the same regardless?

The quality. Whether you order one label or 10,000: we print both on the same presses, with the same materials and with the same inspection steps. The pouch for the smallest test later looks exactly like the pouch from roll stock for the large print run. That matters to us, because otherwise a test tells you very little.

And the transparent prices: what you see in the calculator is the final price. No “from”, no “plus”. What is included really is included – shipping within the EU as well.

And the whole thing is sustainable, too

Because we only produce what you actually need, there is hardly any unused stock. No box full of labels gathering dust on a shelf because your design has changed. No mountain of pouches that never gets filled because your recipe wasn’t final yet.

On top of that, we produce in Bavaria. Short distances, reliable delivery times and responsibility for what comes off the line here. We see that as part of our sustainability promise: not only in the material, but also in the quantity that actually leaves the plant.

Ready for your first unit?

Whether you want to test a beta batch, launch a niche product or simply hold your packaging “for real” in your hands – that is what we are built for. Order our sample pack free of charge and take your time with the materials, finishes and print quality. Or go straight to our calculator to work out your desired quantity – from 1 to 100,000+ – live.

And if you are not sure whether your project can be done this way: just get in touch. We are happy to go through it together with you.
