When to Choose Midori Apparel: Making the Right Decision for Your Custom Apparel Needs

In the world of custom apparel, it’s essential to choose the right service provider for your specific needs. At Midori Apparel, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing and exceptional quality for larger orders. But when should you opt for our services over companies like CustomInk or Vistaprint? Let’s break it down.

Understanding MOQ and MCQ

Before diving into the details, it’s important to understand two key terms: MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and MCQ (Minimum Charge Quantity).

  • MOQ refers to the smallest quantity of a product that a supplier is willing to sell. For Midori Apparel, our factories' MOQs start at 500 units, which means we’re designed for larger-scale orders.
  • MCQ is the minimum quantity required per color. Since our MOQ is the same as our MCQ, 500 units per color is a good rule of thumb. 

While companies such as Custom Ink specialize in smaller runs with no minimums, they might not always offer the best pricing for larger quantities and likely have restricted levels of customization. 

When to Choose Midori Apparel

  1. Cost Efficiency for Large Orders: If you’re planning a large order and want to keep costs down, Midori Apparel is your best bet. We consistently beat the prices of companies like Custom Ink, making us ideal for bulk purchases.

  2. Custom Fit and Specialized Styles: Have a unique design or a specific fit in mind? We excel in creating custom pieces tailored to your vision. If you want something distinct that stands out from the crowd, our team is here to help bring your ideas to life.

  3. Reorders and Long-Term Planning: If you’re considering a design that you’ll want to reorder in the future, working with us makes sense. With our larger MOQs, you can ensure consistency in quality and pricing for your brand.

  4. High-Quality Materials: We prioritize quality, ensuring that each piece meets our high standards. When you order in larger quantities, you also benefit from the quality assurance that comes with our dedicated manufacturing process.

When to Choose Another Provider

  1. Small Runs and Quick Turnarounds: If you need a small quantity of custom apparel—perhaps for a last-minute event—Custom Ink is a solid choice. Their no-minimum policy allows for flexibility, but be prepared for potentially higher costs per item.

  2. Urgent Needs: If time is of the essence, a company with the ability to fulfill smaller, quicker orders may be more suited to your needs.

The Best of Both Worlds

At Midori Apparel, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable custom apparel solutions for larger orders. Our MOQs and MCQs ensure that while we focus on bulk production, we maintain competitive pricing that often beats out other providers.
