Custom Shot Glasses Bulk Order Singapore: MOQ, Pricing Tiers & Lead Times

Our MOQ and why it sits at 300 pcs

Aquaholic’s standard Custom Shot Glasses MOQ is 300 pieces across our clear-glass, tinted-glass, metal and eco-plastic bodies. That figure reflects three unavoidable realities: the supplier ships us bodies in 100-pc cartons and won’t split a pallet; screen-making, proof cycles and laser-fixture setup cost roughly the same whether you order 100 or 1,000 pieces; and commercial carriers in Singapore price glassware freight by the pallet not the piece. Below 300 pcs, the setup-to-unit ratio makes the per-piece cost punishing enough that buyers walk away — we’d rather help you combine into a multi-product order.

Specialty bodies carry higher MOQs because the factory batch runs larger: LED shots start at 500 pcs, freezer double-wall shots from 500 pcs, lead-free crystal from 500 pcs, ceramic heritage-style bodies from 300–500 pcs depending on the mould. We confirm the exact MOQ against your chosen body in the written quote so there are no surprises.

Volume pricing bands — indicative 2026 unit costs

All figures below are indicative SGD unit costs ex-GST on a standard clear-glass shooter body with single-colour silkscreen. Heavier bodies, tinted glass, metal, LED or freezer add a premium; more complex decoration (UV full colour, colour-fill engraving, multi-panel print) adds a setup and per-piece uplift. We quote every brief individually — these bands are for sizing conversations, not shopping-cart quotes.

Decoration method drives the second-biggest cost swing. Silkscreen and pad print are the most cost-efficient; UV digital and laser engraving cost more per piece but avoid the per-screen setup fee of silkscreen. For the full explanation of how each method prices out, see the logo decoration methods — UV, silkscreen, laser and more companion guide.

Lead times — how the 30 working days break down

“Thirty working days” isn’t a flat production run — it’s a compressed sequence of quotation, proof, deposit, production, QC and delivery. Understanding the breakdown lets you lock your event date without over-padding the lead time.

Rush production is possible on selected methods. Silkscreen and pad print compress fastest — 14 to 18 working days with a rush surcharge. Colour-fill engraving and kiln-fired ceramic can’t compress meaningfully below 28 days because cure or firing time is physics, not scheduling. Call us on +65 6589 8175 with the event date and we’ll tell you honestly what’s feasible.

What moves the unit price up (and down)

Payment terms & procurement workflow

For first-time clients, we work on 50% deposit on deposit & slot confirmation and 50% balance on completion before delivery. Repeat corporate accounts are eligible for Net-30 terms against a signed Purchase Order — we’ve run Net-30 terms with Singapore-listed corporates, event agencies and hotel groups for years. For procurement buyers, our vendor-onboarding pack includes ACRA business profile, GST registration (GST-registered), bank verification letter and three recent corporate references.

We accept PayNow, direct bank transfer, cheque and corporate GIRO. Credit card is available on request (3% admin fee applies). We don’t accept crypto or instalment plans — we’re a straightforward local supplier.

For multi-month campaigns or phased delivery (e.g. a hotel opening three venues across a quarter), we split invoices to the delivery milestones and coordinate with your finance team on the approval cadence.

Pre-production samples & sample runs

For orders above 1,000 pcs we offer pre-production samples — a single decorated piece produced on the final body using the final artwork, shipped to your office for sign-off before the main batch runs. Sample cost is typically absorbed into the main order for qualified procurement clients. For orders below 1,000 pcs, the digital proof is the sign-off artefact; we don’t recommend paying for a physical sample run when the production quantity is small.

Blank body samples (undecorated glass) are available on request — useful when you want to confirm hand-feel before committing to a body type. We keep a sample library on file at our office and can courier samples to your procurement team within one working day.

Delivery across Singapore

Delivery is included in the base quote for most weekday office drops across Singapore — CBD, Orchard, Marina Bay, Sentosa, Jurong, Tuas, Changi Business Park and the major business parks. Hotel banquet delivery, weekend slots, after-hours drops and split deliveries (office + venue same day) carry a small surcharge and need to be locked in the quote. For event-agency clients we deliver direct to 3PL warehouses against an advance shipping notice.

All Custom Shot Glasses are packed to survive freight — individually wrapped in a bubble sleeve, nested in a double-wall carton, palletised with shrink wrap and strap. Breakage in transit is rare but we replace any damaged pieces at our cost and re-deliver within three working days.
