Liquid manufacturing MOQ
Minimum order is 3,000 units or 150 liters.
HBM’s liquid manufacturing minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 3,000 units or 150 liters, whichever the run plan favors. That covers tinctures, shots, syrups, and functional beverages across water-based, oil-based, emulsion, liposomal, and suspension systems. For comparison, gummy MOQ is 300,000 units, reflecting the different equipment and economics.
What the MOQ covers
The 3,000-unit or 150-liter minimum applies across liquid formats and systems — from a 1oz dropper tincture to a 16oz beverage. It is set so emerging brands can launch without committing to gummy-scale volumes.
How the MOQ is set
MOQ follows the run plan: the mixing vessel size, the packaging line, and the fill size all factor in. A smaller fill at higher unit counts and a larger fill at lower unit counts can both clear the same minimum.
Liquid vs gummy MOQ
Liquid MOQ (3,000 units / 150L) is far lower than gummy MOQ (300,000 units) because liquid batches and changeovers are smaller and faster. Choosing the format early helps scope volume realistically.
