Does low MOQ mean forever small?

No—test small, then replenish winners or unit economics stay weak.

How to verify quick-turn capacity?

Ask for written bands, peak rules, and a recent capacity calendar.

Print is faster; garment dye when color is the hero and longer leads are OK.

Yes—accept micro shade or pay to lock one lot; tests can tolerate controlled drift.

Per contract AQL/liability—confirm rework/replace windows in writing before PO.

Low-MOQ tees succeed when mixed lots are allowed and lead times are written down—especially in peak season.

Flecustom serves US DTC and cross-border sellers with flexible lines—not only container MOQs.

Score vendors on MOQ, mix rules, print limits, and who owns returns.

Real quick-turn is written lead bands and mix rules—not brochure “small MOQ” claims.

Align pre-ship QC and HS codes so customs delays don’t pause ads.

Color/size mixes
US tests often need multi-color curves; confirm SKU billing and dye-lot constraints.
QC
Pre-ship AQL or store standards matter—US returns make misprints costly.
Duties
Align HS codes with your forwarder so ads are not paused by customs delays.
Written peak leads
Before BFCM, demand non-verbal lead bands and rush premiums—no “we’ll try.”
