Co-packing · Numbers

MOQ and pricing for tea co-packing.

Real numbers, not "talk to sales" obfuscation. Below is the volume / pricing logic. Project-specific quotes within four working hours.

Tea cartons stacked on warehouse pallets ready for despatch from a European distribution centre.
Minimum order

From 5,000 bags per SKU.

5,000 bags per SKU is the floor for a single co-pack run. Most brands run between 25,000 and 250,000 bags per SKU per month. The line breaks even at much lower volumes than that, so you are not paying for unused capacity.
