The nylon bag minimum order is the first number most new customers ask about, and the one they understand least. Is 50 too few? Is 100 too many? Should you start with 500? The right quantity is not the biggest you can afford. It is the one you will use, store and reorder comfortably.
This guide explains the minimums on our nylon bags, what 50, 100 and 500 bags mean in practice, and how to choose a quantity for your business.

What 50, 100 and 500 bags mean
- 50 bags is a test. Use it to try a size, a design and your customers’ reaction before you commit more. It is also right for a very small business or a single event.
- 100 bags suits a small shop that serves a steady flow of customers. It is a comfortable first order when you are sure of the size.
- 500 bags suits a busy shop, a restaurant or an event with many guests. It is a realistic quantity for printing in one to four colours.
Larger runs, of thousands of bags, belong to a different printing method called flexo, which is built for factories and large companies. See screen printing nylon bags.
How to choose your nylon bag minimum order quantity
- Estimate your weekly use. How many customers leave with a bag in a typical week?
- Multiply by the weeks you want to cover. Four to eight weeks is a sensible first order.
- Add a small spare. A few extra covers mistakes and extra helpers.
- Check the size first. Do not order a large quantity of a size you have not tested. See how to measure nylon bag size.
- Think about change. If your logo or phone number may change soon, order less.
- Think about storage. Keep printed bags dry and flat, away from heat.
Start small, then reorder
Whatever size you choose, the nylon bag minimum order is only a starting point. The best quantity is the one that matches how quickly you hand out bags.
A smaller first order costs less cash and teaches you the most. If the size is right and the design works, reorder a larger quantity. A client who tested all four sample sizes first, then ordered 50 of each size they needed, avoided the risk of a large order in the wrong size.
