MOQ-Based Price Tiers: Landed Cost per Unit (FOB China)
Estimates for a standardized 7g tungsten jig head (common saltwater lure). Reflects 2026 negotiated rates with Tier 2 suppliers.
| MOQ Tier | Unit Price Range | Key Cost Drivers | Strategic Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 units | $0.85 – $1.30 | High mold amortization ($1.20/unit); manual assembly; standard packaging. | Avoid for profit: Only for urgent samples/test markets. Margins unsustainable below $1.50 ASP. |
| 1,000 units | $0.65 – $0.95 | Mold cost reduced ($0.60/unit); semi-automated line; basic eco-packaging option. | Entry point for SMBs: Viable for DTC brands targeting $3–$5 retail. |
| 5,000+ units | $0.48 – $0.72 | Full automation; bulk material discounts; recycled packaging standard; QC embedded. | Optimal for scale: Achieves 22–30% lower unit cost vs. 1k MOQ. Target for retailers. |
Critical Footnotes:
1. Prices assume 85%+ automation rate (2026 baseline for Tier 2+ factories). Manual assembly adds $0.15–$0.25/unit.
2. MOQ <1,000 often incurs “small batch surcharge” (15–25% premium). Verify contract terms.
3. EU/US compliance (e.g., lead-free certification) adds $0.08–$0.15/unit at all tiers.
Strategic Recommendations for Procurement Managers
- Start Private Label Early: Even at 1k MOQ, pay mold fees upfront. Break-even vs. white label occurs at ~2,500 units.
- Demand Automation Proof: Require video evidence of production lines. Factories using <70% automation cannot hit $0.50/unit at 5k MOQ.
- Lock Sustainability Clauses: Specify recycled content % in packaging (e.g., “min. 30% PCR plastic”) to avoid 2026 EU penalty risks.
- Audit Beyond Certificates: 68% of “ISO-certified” factories fail SourcifyChina’s operational audit (Q4 2025 data). Verify machine age and engineer-to-line ratios.
“In 2026, fishing tackle sourcing success hinges on treating suppliers as innovation partners, not cost vendors. The $0.05/unit savings from a Tier 3 factory often cost $2.00/unit in returns and brand damage.”
