Summary
Inkse has no minimum order quantity. Creators can start with a single unit and scale production as their brand grows. This flexibility is what makes Inkse different from traditional manufacturing, where factories typically require high volume commitments. By working with Inkse, creators gain access to premium fabrics, finishes and treatment types that would otherwise only be available through large scale production.

Step by Step Guide
Step 1: No Minimums, No Barriers
Inkse’s one unit minimum allows anyone to create a fully finished product without needing to meet traditional factory requirements. Whether you are developing a new concept, creating a one off gift, testing the market or building your first range, you can start at any scale.
Step 2: Why Most Factories Require Minimums
Traditional apparel factories work on high volume production runs to remain efficient. This means creators are often required to order thousands of pieces per style, per colour and per size. These minimums can lock smaller brands out of professional manufacturing.
Step 3: Why Inkse Can Offer One Unit Production
Inkse’s supply chain has been built and nurtured for over thirty years, allowing small orders to be produced through the same premium facilities that handle large scale manufacturing. Because of this network, creators can access advanced processes and finishes without the high MOQs usually required by factories.
Step 4: Access to Exclusive Treatment Types
Most factories will not produce small runs with specialty finishes such as emboss, puff print or glow in the dark applications. Inkse’s integrated system gives creators access to these treatment types from the first order, ensuring each garment can be produced at brand level quality even at low quantities.
Step 5: Scale When You Are Ready
When your brand grows, Inkse grows with you. The same supply chain that supports one unit orders can scale seamlessly to hundreds or thousands of pieces without changing fabrics, fits or finishes.
Common Questions
