Low MOQ Towel Manufacturer - 500 Pieces from India

Our MOQ is 500 pieces per SKU (per colour and per size combination) for standard hotel bath towels. For bathrobes, the MOQ is 200 pieces per style and size. For bed linen (sheet sets), the MOQ is 200 sets per thread count and size. This is one of the lowest MOQs available from a direct OEKO-TEX-certified Indian manufacturer - trading companies and agents typically add 20–40% cost on top of manufacturer prices.

Most reputable Indian terry-towel manufacturers have MOQs of 500–1,000 pieces per SKU for their own branded or institutional specifications. Factories have this threshold because setting up looms, dyeing vats, and quality lines for smaller runs is not economically viable for either party. Some trading companies on Alibaba claim lower MOQs but typically blend orders from multiple buyers - this creates quality and traceability issues. At Anabyn, 500 pcs/SKU is genuinely our own production MOQ.

For a hotel: 500 bath towels (70×140 cm) at 500 GSM weighs approximately 250 kg and fits comfortably in 0.8 CBM - well within a single LCL (Less than Container Load) shipment. For a retailer or e-commerce brand: 500 towels at a blended FOB price of ~$2.50 is a $1,250 FOB order - easily viable for a first order or new product launch. For a hospitality distributor: 500 pcs per SKU across 3 sizes = a 1,500-piece sample order to test with accounts.

Yes. We provide 2 free product samples per specification (e.g., 2 bath towels at your requested GSM and size). Buyer pays courier cost (DHL, FedEx, or UPS from Kerala, India). Sample lead time is 7–14 days. We recommend sampling two GSM options side-by-side to decide your specification before placing the bulk order.

MOQ is per SKU - which means per size AND per colour. You cannot mix a 70×140cm bath towel with a 50×90cm hand towel to reach 500 pieces. However, you can place a multi-SKU order: 500 bath towels + 500 hand towels = a 1,000-piece order combining two different SKUs, each at MOQ. For very small trial runs below 500 pcs, we recommend using our product configurator to get a quote - we can sometimes accommodate 300-piece trial orders at a small premium.

A full 40ft container holds approximately 80,000–120,000 standard bath towels. At container volumes, FOB prices are typically 8–15% lower than at MOQ (500-piece) volumes. For a new buyer, we recommend starting at MOQ to verify quality, then scaling to FCL once you have confirmed specifications and your account with us. We maintain the same OEKO-TEX quality standards regardless of order size.
