Electric Toothbrush MOQ & Lead Time for OEM & Private Label Projects
Quick Answer
On selected existing electric toothbrush models, market-testing orders can start from 30 units. Logo projects start from 500 units, while fully custom printed packaging or custom colours typically start from about 1,000 units. Logo or packaging samples take about 7 days, and mass production on existing models is typically about 35–40 days for 1,000–10,000 units.
Larger orders, custom packaging, colour changes and tooling projects need more time. Final MOQ and schedule depend on the selected model, customization scope, quantity and current production conditions.

MOQ by Customization Level
| Customization Level | What Changes | Reference MOQ |
|---|---|---|
| Market testing | Selected stock model with neutral or existing packaging | From 30 units |
| Logo on product | Logo applied to the toothbrush handle | From 500 units |
| Logo on packaging | Logo applied to standard packaging | From 500 units |
| Fully custom gift box | Packaging produced from your artwork | Typically from about 1,000 units |
| Custom colour | Handle colour changed on an existing model | From about 1,000 units |
| Modified or new tooling | Structural changes requiring mould work | Project-based |
The 30-unit route depends on which models and packaging configurations are in stock at the time of order. For most standard models, quantities below 100 units can usually be supplied from existing neutral stock, subject to availability when the order is placed.

Sampling to Mass Production →Why MOQ Changes With Customization
MOQ is usually driven by the process or component with the highest setup requirement or supplier minimum, rather than by the handle itself.
Stock Models
Small quantities are possible because existing components and packaging are already produced.
Logo Projects
Laser or print setup is required for each design.
Custom Printed Boxes
Packaging printers have their own production minimums.
Colour Changes
A separate plastic or coating batch may be required.
Mould Work
Tooling adds development time and project-specific commercial requirements.

What Affects Sample Lead Time
01
Model availability
Whether the selected model and configuration are available from current stock.
02
Logo method and finish
Laser engraving and pad printing follow different setup steps.
03
Packaging artwork readiness
Complete, print-ready artwork keeps packaging sampling on schedule.
04
Revision rounds
Each revision round adds time before the sample is approved.
Sample Planning Notes
Sample fees are quoted according to the model, logo method, colour requirement and packaging scope.
Laser engraving typically appears as a single-tone grey mark on the handle for the models and finishes currently offered.
Pad printing allows colour.
Packaging samples are first confirmed as a digital proof, with a machine-printed sample available where colour matching matters.
Sample Fees
Sample fees are charged per sample on existing models and confirmed before work starts. Reference fees:

Larger orders require longer production windows.
Custom Packaging
Fully custom packaging adds its own production lead time.
Colour / Function / Mould Changes
