Air Bar Box Minimum Order Quantity Explained
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Minimum order quantity is the first commercial filter in any Box sourcing conversation.
Distributors reviewing their Box range usually find that minimum order quantity explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on minimum order quantity for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box.
Why minimum order quantity matters on the Box
The minimum usually applies per SKU rather than per order, which shapes flavour planning.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Box.
Mixing flavours within one model is often allowed at carton level.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Box minimum negotiable?
For a first order, factories often allow a mixed carton to test demand before applying standard per SKU minimums.
Do you support long term supply agreements?

What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
