Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and minimum order quantity is where that consistency is measured.

Retail staff rarely ask about minimum order quantity directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.

Why minimum order quantity matters on the Meta 5

The minimum usually applies per SKU rather than per order, which shapes flavour planning.

Freight consolidation changes the answer to minimum order quantity at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

Mixing flavours within one model is often allowed at carton level.
