Is it possible to order fewer items than the online minimum quantity?
Every product on our site shows a suggested minimum order quantity — but if that number doesn't work for your situation, reach out. We'll do our best to accommodate smaller runs, and we'll be upfront about any additional charges that may apply.
Why Minimum Quantities Exist
Promotional products involve setup steps — screen creation, ink mixing, tooling — that carry a fixed cost regardless of how many units are ordered. Minimums help spread that setup cost across enough pieces to keep per-unit pricing reasonable. Ordering below the minimum doesn't eliminate that setup cost; it just concentrates it across fewer items, which is why a small surcharge typically applies.
Need to Order Below the Minimum?
We understand that not every order fits a standard mold. A small business launch, an event gift for a handful of VIPs, or a trial run before a large order — these are all real situations. Here's how it works:
Step 1 — Contact Us First
Reach out before placing your order. Let us know which product you're interested in and the quantity you need. We'll check with our supplier and get back to you quickly.
Step 2 — We'll Quote You Honestly
If a below-minimum run is possible, we'll give you the exact pricing upfront — including any small-run surcharges — so there are no surprises.
Pro Tip: Consider Ordering at the Minimum
In most cases, bumping up to the listed minimum quantity is the most cost-efficient route — the per-unit price drops significantly and the small-run surcharge disappears entirely. We're happy to run the numbers for you so you can make the best call for your budget.
