What Is the MOQ for Private-Label Interactive Panels?
✍️ By Carry | terry@riotouch.com · WhatsApp +86 186 6403 3548
Short answer: for private-label interactive panels the minimum order quantity is 50 units when your logo goes on one of our standard models, and it starts at 200 units when the order needs ODM hardware changes. Prototype samples are 1–3 units for evaluation. Those are the three numbers buyers ask us for most.
This guide explains what sets those numbers, which parts of a private-label project move the MOQ up or down, and the three-step route most of our distributors use to reach volume without carrying a large first commitment.
Our MOQ at a glance
| Order type | What it includes | MOQ |
|---|---|---|
| Private label (OEM) | Your logo on a standard model, standard housing and packaging | 50 units |
| ODM with hardware changes | New board configuration, housing or interface changes, custom firmware behaviour | from 200 units |
| Prototype sample | Standard unit for evaluation before a production order | 1–3 units |
What actually drives the MOQ
MOQ is not a single policy number — it follows the number of parts in your project that have to be made specifically for you:
- Screen size. 65″ and 75″ are the highest-volume sizes and the easiest to place in a production run; 86″ sits slightly higher, and 98″/110″ panels follow their own schedule.
- Board choice. The platform you pick (for example RK3576 or RK3588 class boards) has its own supply cadence. A widely used board keeps the order flexible; a rare configuration pulls in a minimum.
- Housing and bezel. Standard black or grey housings are stocked; a new colour, a different bezel width or a changed speaker grille means new tooling and a higher quantity.
- Logo application. Printing or engraving your logo on a standard housing is a small change - it is what the 50-unit private-label service is built for.
- Packaging. Standard cartons ship as they are. A printed carton with your brand, a custom insert or a foam set cut to your accessory list is a tooling item, so it has its own quantity.
- Software load. Pre-installed apps, a custom launcher, a boot animation and your language set are all part of the OEM image — that is software configuration rather than parts, so it does not push the MOQ up.
- Certification for your market. Products already carrying the certificates your market requires ship as they are. If a market needs an additional approval, the test units and the sample build become part of the project plan.
How to lower your effective MOQ
- Start from a standard model. Choosing an existing SKU instead of a new housing keeps the first order at the private-label level.
- Put your logo on the panel, keep the carton standard. Add branded packaging on the following order once your volumes are predictable.
- Combine sizes in one order. Sizes that share the same housing and board can often be mixed in one production run — send us the size split and we check it for you.
- Keep the standard housing colour for the pilot. Colour changes are the item that most often pushes an order from the private-label level to the ODM level.
- Run a sample first, then a pilot. Sample units let you verify panel, touch and software before you commit to a pilot batch.
- Align with an existing production slot. If your sizes and board match a run we already have scheduled, your order can ride along with it — ask us which dates are open.
Private label vs OEM vs ODM: which one are you buying?
The three terms are used loosely in this industry, so it is worth fixing them before you request a quote:
- Private label — an existing product, sold under your brand. You change the logo, the packaging and the software image; the hardware stays as it is.
- OEM — the same arrangement with a formal manufacturing relationship: your brand, our platform, documented specifications and certificates in your name where applicable.
- ODM — we develop the changes with you: a different board, housing, interface or software behaviour. This is where the 200-unit level applies.
If you are not sure which one fits your business, our OEM/ODM programme page walks through the four working models we support, from logo-only private label to full custom development.
From sample to volume: the 3-step path
- Sample (1–3 units). You check the panel, touch accuracy, the whiteboard software and the accessories list. Send us your feedback in one message.
- Pilot (private-label level). Your logo on a standard model, in the sizes that matter for your market. This is the order most distributors place first, because it validates demand at a low commitment.
- Volume. Once the pilot sells through, the next order can add branded packaging, a second size, or move to ODM changes if your market needs them.
What we need from you to quote an MOQ
- Screen sizes and the quantity you want per size
- Your logo files (vector) and where the logo goes on the panel
- Housing / bezel colour — standard or custom
- Target market and the certifications it requires
- Whether you need camera, microphone or OPS as part of the same order
- Your target delivery date
Send these six items and we will come back with the MOQ that applies, the configuration that fits it, and the specification sheet for the model. Start from the contact page or reply to the quotation you already have from us.

What do you need to quote an MOQ?
Sizes and quantity per size, logo files, housing colour,
target market and certifications, optional camera/mic/OPS, and your target date.
