Introduction
Thinking about launching your own gel polish brand? Great! But before you start designing your label, you need to understand two key things: MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and the OEM production timeline.
These are the two most common questions buyers ask — and knowing the answers will help you plan better and avoid delays.
1. What Is the MOQ for Gel Polish OEM?
At Yichun Gel Factory, our standard MOQ starts at:
- 60 pcs per color, if you use our existing bottle and formula
- 200 pcs per color, if you request full customization (formula + bottle + label)
For startup brands or trial orders, we also support small-batch MOQ for selected core colors.
💡 Tip: MOQ can be flexible depending on your customization level.
2. What Factors Influence the MOQ?
MOQ depends on:
- Bottle mold: Custom bottle = higher MOQ
- Cap or brush type: Custom-colored caps or soft brushes require bulk runs
- Label printing: Digital printing allows lower MOQ than screen printing
- Formula changes: Custom viscosity, pigment ratio, or texture need minimum blending volumes
3. How Long Does the OEM Process Take?
Here’s a typical timeline:
| Stage | Estimated Time |
|---|---|
| Sample confirmation | 3–7 working days |
| Mass production | 7–15 working days |
| Packaging & QC | 2–4 working days |
| Delivery (by air or sea) | 5–30 days (region-dependent) |
You should plan 2–4 weeks for OEM production, excluding shipping time.
4. What Should Buyers Prepare in Advance?
To start quickly, you should prepare:
- Logo file (AI or PNG format)
- Preferred color codes or swatches
- Label content (ingredients, brand info, compliance notes)
- Shipping address & contact info
- Payment readiness (deposit, method)
✅ We offer design support and regulatory assistance if you need help with labels.
5. Tips to Speed Up Your OEM Order
- Choose existing bottle shapes & formulas to skip mold/sample time
- Pick from our 1,200+ trending colors already available
- Confirm all packaging details early to avoid back-and-forth
- Book production slots in advance during peak seasons (May–August, November)
Conclusion
MOQ and timeline are two key foundations of any successful OEM order. Once you understand the process, you’ll be able to confidently plan your gel polish brand launch — without surprises.
