Why Our Minimum Order is 30 Cartons – The Sweet Spot for Custom-Branded Beer

When businesses and event organisers first inquire about our custom-branded beer, one of the most common questions we hear is: Why is the minimum order 30 cartons? At first glance, that might sound like a big commitment, but in reality, it’s the perfect balance between affordability, efficiency, and quality. Here’s why 30 cartons is the magic number.

Economies of Scale – Making Custom Beer Affordable

Custom beer production involves a combination of brewing, canning, and printing. At lower quantities, the cost per can would be significantly higher due to fixed production expenses. However, at 30 cartons (480 cans), we hit the sweet spot where production costs are spread out efficiently—meaning you get the best value for your investment.

By setting our minimum order at 30 cartons, we ensure that:

  • The cost of custom printing (including can artwork and packaging) is kept at a reasonable level.

  • The brewing and canning process remains cost-effective.

  • We can maintain premium quality without compromising affordability.

Why 30 Cartons Isn’t as Big as It Sounds

For those used to traditional beer cartons, 30 might seem like a lot—until you realise our cartons contain 16 cans each, not 24. That means 30 cartons (480 cans) is actually equivalent to just 20 traditional cartons in a 24-pack format.

So, if you’re picturing a warehouse full of beer, think again! This is a far more manageable quantity than it first appears.

Printing & Production Costs – Why We Can’t Go Lower

One of the biggest advantages of ordering 30 cartons is the ability to spread out the cost of printing. Every batch of custom-branded beer requires:

  • High-quality label printing or direct can printing

  • Customised packaging

  • Setup costs for our brewing and canning equipment

If we were to lower the minimum order, the per-can cost would increase significantly, making it less economical for both us and our customers. At 30 cartons, the printing and production costs reach a point where they remain affordable without sacrificing the premium quality of our beer.

Designed for Events, Promotions & Business Use

We set our minimum order at 30 cartons to ensure that our customers get a meaningful quantity of beer while keeping it financially viable. This amount works perfectly for:

  • Corporate events and promotional giveaways

  • Hospitality venues looking to stock their own branded beer

  • Weddings and special occasions

  • Sports clubs and construction businesses rewarding their teams

Final Thoughts

Our 30-carton minimum isn’t about making you buy more than you need—it’s about keeping custom-branded beer affordable, high-quality, and practical. And when you break it down, 480 cans (30 cartons) isn’t much at all—it’s just 20 traditional cartons in a 24-pack format.

So, if you’re considering custom beer for your business or event, rest assured that 30 cartons is the perfect balance between quantity, cost, and value. Ready to get started? Let’s put your brand on a can!
