Bagasse Tableware MOQ, Lead Time and Mixed Containers: What Are the Terms?
Jirun's minimum order for the fluorine-free grade is 4 models, in natural colour, and the models are produced and loaded together, so one container can carry several products. Orders ship about 22 days after the order is placed, from Qingdao on FOB, CIF, EXW terms. Samples are free with freight paid by the buyer and leave within 2 days; a custom mould adds about 20 days plus about 3 days for samples.

What "4 models" means
The minimum is set by models, not pieces: a fluorine-free order needs at least four different products, made in natural colour and shipped in the same container. A restaurant group can, for example, combine a bowl, a two-compartment container, a burger box and a sushi tray.
For white (bleached) products or other grades, ask us; the four-model rule above is the factory's figure for the fluorine-free grade in natural colour.

When the product needs its own mould
A new mould costs about CNY 25,000 per mould set and takes about 20 days; free samples follow in about 3 days. The mould belongs to the buyer who paid for it, and the fee is refunded once orders of that product exceed 30 t. Logo embossing on a standard model avoids the mould fee. Details: custom moulds and OEM.
Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity for bagasse tableware?
At Jirun, the minimum for the fluorine-free grade is 4 models per order in natural colour, produced and loaded together. Quantities per model follow from how the container is shared; ask us to plan a mixed container from your list.
Can different bagasse products be mixed in one container?
Yes. Fluorine-free models are produced and loaded together, with at least 4 models per container. Carton sizes for 82 models are published, so the share of each model can be planned before ordering; see how many cartons fit in a 20GP or 40HQ.
What is the lead time for bagasse tableware from China?
About 22 days from order to shipment for standard models at Jirun, plus sea transit from Qingdao. A new custom mould adds about 20 days, and samples from it about 3 days more.
Are bagasse tableware samples free?
Yes, standard samples are free; the buyer pays the courier. Jirun dispatches them within 2 days. Samples from a new custom mould are also free.
Are bagasse containers shipped on pallets?
No. Jirun floor-loads full containers without pallets, which fits more cartons in a container. Products are packed in PE bags inside export cartons.
Can we audit the factory before ordering?
Yes. On-site, video and third-party (SGS / BV) audits accepted. Testing to your specification at a laboratory you choose is also available, at your cost.
