What is a typical MOQ when moving from formulation to manufacturing?

MOQs vary widely by category and manufacturer. Cosmetics and household products often start at 500–1,000 units. Supplements may require 1,000–5,000 units depending on the fill format. Candles can sometimes start at 100–250 units with smaller chandlers.
