Holster MOQ & Bulk Pricing Explained
Two questions decide whether a holster supplier fits your business: what's the MOQ, and what's the unit price? This guide explains what drives both — so you can budget your first bulk order with confidence.
Key Takeaways
- Typical holster MOQ is 50–200 pcs per model.
- Volume is the biggest lever on unit price; customization adds setup and per-unit adjustments.
- New models add a one-time tooling cost; reused molds don't.

What is MOQ and why it exists
MOQ (minimum order quantity) is the smallest run a factory will produce per configuration. It exists because setup — loading the mold, dialing in the press, color changes, QC — costs the same whether you make 10 or 100. A low MOQ (around 50 pcs) lets new brands test the market without big risk; higher volumes unlock better pricing.
What drives the unit price
- Volume: the biggest factor — price drops in tiers as quantity rises.
- Material: Boltaron costs a little more than standard Kydex (compare them here).
- Customization: custom colors, logos, optic/light cuts each add a small amount.
- Tooling: a brand-new model needs a mold — a one-time cost amortized over your order.
- Packaging: blank vs branded box vs retail hangtag.
