Wholesale Pricing Guide
Factory-Direct Pricing Explained
Factory-direct pricing means sourcing closer to the manufacturer — removing unnecessary reseller layers. This guide explains cost drivers, MOQs, and how EU wholesale buyers can plan stronger margins.
Main cost drivers that influence unit price
Factory-direct pricing varies by specification, volume, and construction complexity.
| Cost driver | How it affects price | Buyer tip |
|---|---|---|
| MOQ & volume | Higher volumes reduce per-unit manufacturing cost. | Start with core best-sellers before expanding ranges. |
| Fabric & trims | Premium fabrics and hardware increase unit cost. | Reserve premium trims for hero SKUs. |
| Construction | Complex paneling and detailing increase labour time. | Balance statement styles with repeatable shapes. |
| Boning & hardware | Steel type, count, and closures affect durability and price. | Standardise boning for consistent reorders. |
| Packaging | Private label packaging adds cost. | Standardise where possible for scale efficiency. |
