For\ninstance:\n\n   1.\n\n   *Stock Blanks:* Do you have pre-manufactured premium beach towels in\n   stock where we could just add our custom woven labels or a minimalist\n   embroidery\/print?\n   2.\n\n   *Co-Production:* If we adapt our design to standard colors that you are\n   already weaving for other clients, would it be possible to reduce the MOQ?\n\nIf an industrial run of 500 units is the only option, we will completely\nunderstand. In that case, we will keep your contact details on file to\nre-evaluate this partnership as soon as our volume scales up for future\nseasons.\n\nThank you again for your time and guidance.\n\nBest regards,\n\nEl lun, 8 jun 2026 a las 11:55, Matilde Azevedo ()\nescribi\u00f3:\n\n> Hello Rom\u00e1n,\n>\n> Thank you for providing the detailed information about your project.\n>\n> However, I must inform you that the quantity you are looking to\n> manufacture for the beach towels is below our minimum order quantity (MOQ).\n> Our strict minimum for towels is 500 units per style.\n>\n> If you are able to increase your order to meet the minimum quantities, we\n> would be happy to proceed with the next steps.
