One of the first questions buyers ask about a screen greeting card custom printed is the minimum order quantity. Unlike paper cards, video cards require LCD panels, batteries and PCBA boards—components that come in bulk packaging. Rophone has refined our MOQ policy over 13 years to balance factory efficiency with small-business flexibility.
Our standard MOQ is 500 units for most screen sizes. This covers 2.4, 4.3 and 5 inch cards. At 500 units, we can run offset printing and assemble cards on a production line without setup waste. The price per card at 500 units is typically $5-8 depending on screen size and storage.
For first-time buyers and startups, Rophone offers a 100-unit trial order. The unit price is higher due to digital printing and manual assembly, but it lets you test the product before committing to volume. Trial orders ship in 10-12 days. Many clients start with 100 units and reorder at 500+.
Pricing drops significantly at volume. At 1,000 units, per-card cost falls 15-20%. At 3,000 units, it drops 30%. At 5,000+ units, we offer factory-direct pricing. Rophone publishes a full price tier sheet on request. See the full electronic greeting card range for available formats.
Production lead time is 15-20 working days after artwork approval. Sampling takes 5-7 days. Rush production is available at 10 days for an extra 30% fee. Shipping adds 3-5 days by DHL/FedEx or 25-35 days by sea. Plan your campaign timeline accordingly.
Rophone provides free blank sample cards to qualified buyers. You pay only shipping. Custom-printed samples with your artwork cost $80-150 depending on screen size, refundable against a bulk order. We recommend ordering 2-3 different sizes before committing to volume.
