What Is the Minimum Order Quantity for Corten Steel Products?
Minimum order quantities for corten steel products vary by product type, customization level and factory capacity. Understanding MOQ structures helps buyers plan budgets and avoid surprises during quoting.
Typical MOQs by product type
| Product | Standard MOQ | Custom MOQ |

Why MOQs exist
- Material procurement: Corten steel coils and plates are ordered in minimum tonnages from mills (typically 5–10 tons per thickness).
- Setup costs: Laser cutting, bending and welding jigs have fixed setup time regardless of quantity.
- Finish consistency: Smaller batches have higher variation in patina development and weld appearance.
How to order below MOQ
Some factories accept smaller orders at a higher unit price (typically 15–30% premium). Another option is to combine your order with other buyers in the same production batch. Ask your supplier about consolidated shipping schedules.
