Short answer: at Active Reality, retail custom gloves from our store have no minimum, so you can order a single pair. Bulk, OEM and private-label boxing gloves start at 100–1,000 pieces, depending on the design and material. Send us your design and we'll tell you the exact MOQ for your order.
MOQ, or minimum order quantity, is usually the first thing people ask when they want gloves with their own logo. It's a fair question. It decides whether your idea is a few pairs for your crew or a proper production run. Here's how it works with us and what moves the number.
What does MOQ mean for boxing gloves?
MOQ is the smallest order a manufacturer will produce for a given product. Below that amount, setting up materials, colours and logo work for a custom run doesn't make sense. Above it, the maker can produce your design properly from start to finish.
Is there a minimum for a single pair of custom gloves?
No. If you just want a pair or a few, check our boxing gloves collection. Our retail gloves are synthetic with screen-printed logos, there's no minimum, and prices are listed on each product. Shipping is free worldwide.
What's the MOQ for bulk custom boxing gloves?
For bulk, OEM and private-label orders, our minimum is 100–1,000 pieces. Where you land in that range depends mostly on your design and the material you choose. Here's the simple version:
| Order type | Minimum order (MOQ) | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Retail gloves (ready to order) | No minimum, order from the store | Shipped free worldwide |
| Sample for bulk/OEM order | Part of your bulk order | 15–16 days |
| Bulk / OEM / private label | 100–1,000 pieces (depends on the design) | Depends on quantity, confirmed with your quote |
Why does the MOQ change from order to order?
Because no two custom orders are the same. A few things affect it:
- Design. A simple one-colour glove with a single logo is different from a multi-panel design with piping, trim and several colours.
- Material. Bulk orders can be made in genuine leather or synthetic, and the choice can change the minimum. Not sure which to pick? Read leather vs synthetic boxing gloves.
- Logo method. Embroidery, printing, patches and other methods each involve different work.
- Product. Gloves, headgear, groin guards, focus mitts, shoes and sets don't all have the same minimum.
That's why we don't throw out a single number for everyone. Exact MOQ depends on your design and material. Ask us and we'll tell you straight.
Can I split the MOQ across sizes?
Tell us the sizes you need and how many of each. Gyms often want a mix of weights for members and classes, and that's normal. Share your planned split with your quote request and we'll confirm how it works for your order. If you're still working out which weights to get, our 16oz vs 14oz vs 12oz guide helps.
Do I need to pay for a sample before the bulk order?
For bulk orders we make a sample first, so you can check everything before production. It takes 15–16 days. For bulk custom-logo orders the sample is free; for other orders the buyer pays for samples. We only start the full run once you've approved the sample.
How long does a bulk order take after the sample?
It depends on quantity. We confirm the lead time with your quote, so you know what to expect before you commit. We don't guess a date before we know your order.
How do I pay for a bulk order?
We accept T/T bank transfer or letter of credit for bulk orders. Retail orders use secure checkout on our website.
What if I don't reach the minimum yet?
A few options:
- Start with retail gloves from the store. There's no minimum.
- Message us anyway. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll tell you what's possible.
- Combine needs. If you run a gym and also want gear for an event or team, putting them together can help.
How do I get my exact MOQ and price?
Send us your logo, colours, material, sizes and rough quantity on WhatsApp or email. We'll reply with a price, the minimum for your design and the lead time. Full details are on our wholesale & OEM boxing gloves page, and the retail side is on our custom boxing gloves page.
