Packaging Options
| Pack format | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kg / 5 kg | Retail, trials, e-commerce | Higher per-kg cost; private-label friendly |

Typical MOQ by Format
MOQ depends on whether you take stock packs or a custom run:
- Stock 25 kg bags / jumbo: lower MOQ, faster dispatch
- Small retail packs (1–5 kg) or private label: higher MOQ to cover line setup
Exact MOQ is quoted per inquiry — confirm at RFQ stage rather than assuming.
Shelf Life & Storage
- Store in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct moisture
- Keep bags sealed until use; reseal partially used bags
- Under good storage, shelf life is extended (verify on the COA / storage guidance)
Shipping Modes

|---|---|---|
| Sea FCL | Full container (most economical) | 20’/40′ depending on density |
| Sea LCL | <1 container | Shared container; longer handling |
| Rail | China–Europe land route | Alternative to sea for some lanes |
| Air | Urgent samples / small lots | Premium cost |
Common Incoterms: FOB, CIF, CFR. Confirm who handles fumigation, phytosanitary, and destination clearance.

FAQ
Q1. What is the minimum order quantity for private-label 1 kg pouches?
Private-label retail packs carry a higher MOQ than bulk because of line setup. Request a quote with your target volume and label artwork.
Q2. Do you ship by sea or rail to Europe?
Both are workable; sea FCL is most economical for full containers, rail is an alternative land route. Confirm lane and Incoterm at RFQ.
Q3. Are free samples really free?
A standard pre-shipment sample is typically provided free; you usually cover courier freight. Confirm the sample spec matches the production window.
Q4. How should I store potassium humate after arrival?
Keep bags dry and sealed in a ventilated warehouse; reseal open bags. Good storage preserves solubility and active content.
Final Word
Packaging and MOQ are negotiation levers, not fixed walls. Lead with your target format and volume, get the spec window in writing, and the logistics fall into place.
