2. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) for Creator Copies

Part 7 • Ordering 'Creator Copies' from ElasticStage

While ElasticStage offers no minimums for individual on-demand customer orders, there is typically a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for "Creator Copies." This is because bulk orders are handled differently in their internal logistics. For vinyl, the MOQ is usually around 25 units. For CDs, it might be lower, sometimes around 10-20 units. This MOQ is still significantly lower than traditional pressing plants (which might be 300-500 units for vinyl), making bulk orders much more accessible to independent artists.
