A practical buying guide to magnetic travel set MOQ, samples, tin box packaging, document checks and supplier briefs for toy retailers and importers.
Start with the market, not the piece count
A useful sourcing brief begins with destination market, sales channel, intended age range, target price position, estimated quantity and launch date. These details determine which existing models and packaging routes are practical.
How MOQ should be evaluated
There is no responsible single MOQ for every magnetic travel set. Existing products, printed tin artwork, special colors, mixed models and new tooling each have different requirements. Ask for the minimum that applies to the exact model and packaging route.
What to check in a sample
Review the magnetic pieces, tin box closure, printed artwork or labels, instructions, warnings, barcode area and packing method. Approve the complete configuration rather than judging only the loose pieces.
Buyer checklist before placing an order
Confirm the model reference, final contents, packaging artwork, carton configuration, applicable documents, inspection points, production schedule and shipping destination in writing.
Build a focused first assortment
A smaller assortment of clearly differentiated themes is often easier to test than many similar models. Compare our current magnetic travel sets and send the selected references through the project brief.
Product availability, MOQ, samples and applicable documents are confirmed for the selected model and destination market.
