Formulating with care

  1. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) at Fablay?
    Fablay offers flexible MOQs that vary by product type and customization, supporting both boutique and bulk orders—typically starting from a few thousand units per SKU or shade, but customizable for certain projects
  2. Why do manufacturers require an MOQ?
    MOQs ensure production efficiency, justify costs of raw materials and packaging (which also have their own MOQs), and help cover regulatory/testing expenses
  3. Is MOQ different for each product category?
    Yes, MOQs differ for color cosmetics, skin care, hybrid, anti-ageing, and specialized products, depending on factors like packaging and formula complexity
  4. Can the MOQ be negotiated for startups or new product launches?
    Fablay strives to accommodate startups with lower-scale MOQ options where feasible. Contact the team for your specific needs
  5. What happens if I want several shades or variants within the MOQ?
    In many cases, you can split the MOQ across different shades or varieties, such as combining 5,000 units each of two lipstick shades to meet a 10,000 MOQ
  6. How is pricing determined for contract manufacturing?
    Pricing depends on formulation complexity, ingredient quality, packaging choices, order volume, and customization. Final quotes include all direct costs: formulation, ingredients, labor, packaging, and regulatory compliance.
  7. Does the per-unit cost decrease as MOQ increases?
    Yes. Larger orders allow for more efficient production and procurement, lowering per-unit pricing. Smaller batches may cost more per unit due to setup fees and lower packaging/ingredient economies of scale
  8. What are the typical pricing models Fablay uses?
    Pricing may be quoted per unit, by project, or per SKU. Options include cost-plus, fixed-project, or tiered pricing structures depending on your requirements and order size
  9. Are there additional setup or development fees?
    There may be setup fees for new formulas, pilot testing, or small-scale runs. These are always clarified up front and can often be amortized over larger or repeat orders
  10. Will Fablay help with cost optimization if my budget is limited?
    Yes, the team can suggest ingredient substitutions, packaging alternatives, and order strategies to help manage costs while maintaining product integrity and compliance
  11. What is the standard lead time for a typical order?
    Lead times vary by product and customization, but for private label or standard formulations, expect 4–8 weeks from order, depending on material sourcing and approvals. Complex/custom projects may take longer (up to 16 weeks)
  12. What factors can affect lead time?
    Lead time is influenced by ingredient and packaging availability, formulation development, testing, and quality checks. Imported or custom packaging may increase timelines
  13. Can lead times be shortened in urgent situations?
    Fablay works to expedite orders when possible by pre-stocking materials and optimizing production schedules, but rush orders are subject to feasibility and may involve surcharge
  14. How does sample approval impact production time?
    Production starts only after you approve the final sample. Delays in approval can extend overall lead time
  15. What is the process for tracking progress and order status?
    You will receive regular updates on each key milestone: raw material procurement, production, quality checks, and final shipment.
