MOQs vary significantly by supplier and die complexity. For simple, small‑cross‑section profiles, MOQs may range from 300 to 500 kg (approximately 440–1,100 lbs). For larger or more complex profiles, MOQs often start at 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) or more. Prototype quantities (as low as one full extrusion length) are possible with some suppliers using sample dies or simplified tooling, though at a higher per‑kilogram cost.
