Important concepts to understand when ordering a custom-printed item:
- MOQ number must be met in order to get access to custom printing. This is set by manufacturer, not Key Compostables.
- Be sure to plan on storage of custom printed items. If you do not have ample storage for the full order, Key Compostables can help you by renting warehouse space for you to store this inventory at a low monthly fee.
- Custom printing is usually inexpensive on a per-item basis and sometimes even cheaper than your standard pricing due to the order quantity (MOQ). Unfortunately the cost comes from having to pay for the entire supply up-front.
