Understanding MOQ for Custom Cat Scratchers

When sourcing custom cat scratchers, minimum order quantity is an important part of planning your first purchase. It determines how many units you need to order and helps you assess the initial inventory commitment.

At Fobpet, most products have an MOQ of 100 pieces. This gives pet brands, retailers, and distributors a clear starting point for discussing an order. However, the minimum for a specific project should be confirmed against the selected model and customization requirements.

This guide explains how to interpret Fobpet’s 100-piece MOQ, what to clarify before ordering, and how to plan a custom cat scratcher project.

What Does MOQ Mean?

MOQ stands for minimum order quantity—the smallest number of units a supplier accepts for an order under specified conditions.

For most Fobpet products, the starting MOQ is 100 pieces. The important detail is how that minimum applies to your selection. Before confirming an order, ask whether it applies per model, size, artwork version, or another product specification.

For example, an order of 100 units of one scratcher design is different from an order split across four designs. Do not assume that a combined quantity of 100 pieces automatically meets the minimum for every model included.

What Is Fobpet’s MOQ for Custom Cat Scratchers?

Fobpet’s MOQ is 100 pieces for most products, including many of its cardboard cat scratcher offerings. Its scratcher lounge and cardboard scratching post pages also advertise a 100-piece MOQ.

Use this quantity as the starting point for an inquiry, rather than as a guarantee that every possible custom specification is available at the same minimum.

The most useful quotation is one that connects the minimum quantity to an exact product specification.

Which Customization Options Should You Discuss?

Fobpet offers customization across product shapes, printing, and packaging. These options allow buyers to discuss both the scratcher itself and how it will be presented under their brand.

Product Shape and Structure

Start by identifying whether you want an existing Fobpet model or a newly developed design.

For an existing model, provide the product reference and requested quantity. For a new design, share dimensions, sketches, reference images, and any structural requirements. Ask Fobpet to confirm whether the project can proceed at 100 pieces and whether development or tooling charges apply.

A custom shape should receive its own quotation; the general MOQ alone does not define the cost or feasibility of a new structure.

Logo and Printed Artwork

Fobpet advertises custom printing options for its cardboard scratcher products. When requesting a quote, explain where the artwork should appear and provide the intended design or a clear brief.

Useful details include:

• Logo placement.
• Printed areas and artwork versions.
• Brand colors.
• Product information or instructions.
• Any market-specific labeling requirements.

Ask which printing options are available for your selected model at the requested order quantity.

Retail Packaging

Fobpet also offers custom packaging options. Include packaging in the initial inquiry so that the quotation covers the complete product presentation, rather than only the scratcher.

Clarify whether you need an individual retail box, a branded sleeve, an insert, or another packaging format. Then ask whether the packaging quantity matches the product quantity and whether any separate minimums or charges apply.

Can You Mix Different Designs in a 100-Piece Order?

Do not assume that Fobpet’s standard 100-piece MOQ means you can freely combine different models into one 100-piece order.

For example, these requests should be confirmed separately:

• 100 pieces of one scratcher model.
• 50 pieces each of two models.
• 100 pieces of one model divided between two artwork versions.
• Several sizes of the same design.

Send the full quantity breakdown with your inquiry. This allows Fobpet to confirm the minimum for each variation and quote the order accurately.

How to Plan Your First Fobpet Order

1. Select the Product

Choose the scratcher model or product category you want to source. If you need a new design, provide a clear description of its intended shape, dimensions, and use.

2. Define the Customization

Separate your requirements into three parts:

• Product structure and dimensions.
• Logo and printed artwork.
• Retail packaging.

This makes it easier to identify which features are essential and which can be adjusted after receiving a quotation.

3. Provide a Quantity Breakdown

State the quantity for each model, size, and artwork version. If your intended starting quantity is 100 pieces, say so explicitly and ask Fobpet to confirm which specifications are available at that level.

4. Request a Complete Quotation

Ask the quotation to identify the product price, packaging cost, sample charges, and any development or tooling charges that apply. Include the delivery destination and ask which shipping terms the quote uses.

5. Confirm the Sample and Production Specifications

Before authorizing production, agree on the specifications that will be used for approval. These should cover dimensions, construction, artwork, packaging, and any other requirements included in the order.

Keep the approved specifications and quotation together so that both parties are working from the same order details.

Evaluate the Full Order, Not Only the MOQ

The 100-piece starting point answers how much you may need to order, but it does not answer every purchasing question.

When reviewing a proposal, consider:

This approach keeps the discussion focused on the complete purchasing commitment, not just a headline minimum.

What to Include in Your Fobpet Inquiry

To request a project-specific MOQ and quotation, prepare:

• Product name, model reference, or reference image.
• Required dimensions.
• Quantity per model or variation.
• Logo and artwork requirements.
• Packaging requirements.
• Delivery destination.
• Target delivery date.

For most Fobpet products, 100 pieces is the starting MOQ. Confirming the selected model, customization scope, and quantity breakdown turns that starting point into a clear, actionable order plan.
