What is the minimum order for your textile and belting products?

Factories have their own ideas about what constitutes a fair and reasonable minimum order quantity (MOQ) when it comes to purchasing textile and belting products.

The MOQ can vary when there are specific technical characteristics involved, or when machinery needs to be calibrated to meet very exacting requirements.  Minimum order quantities often seem excessively high and unreasonable

Marathon Belting is exceptionally flexible when it comes to MOQs

Marathon’s minimum order quantity for non-stock items is generally 100 metres.  However, 50 metre lengths are sometimes possible.  This is subject to fabric and yarn specification, plus technical feasibility.


Shorter lengths such as 8-10 metres are possible for standard textile materials held in stock, however, the minimum order value is £300.

Flexible manufacturing capability is a real bonus

Marathon understands that one size does not fit all and our aim is to be extremely flexible in our approach to each job and special customer requirements.  Short lengths of our standard belt qualities are often available ex stock and belts can be cut to the required length.
