Minimum order quantity explained
Ramen Markt sells by the pallet. This page sets out exactly what that means in cartons, packs and portions for each of the three ranges.
The minimum is 200 cartons
The minimum order is a single pallet, but a pallet holds a different number of cartons depending on the range. A standard pallet holds 80 cartons of noodles or bowls and 85 cartons of sauces, so a minimum order is roughly two and a half pallets.
| Range | Products | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Noodle packages | 11 | 200 cartons |
| Noodle bowls | 6 | 200 cartons |
| Hot sauces | 3 | 200 cartons |
Carton quantities are fixed; pricing is quoted per order. Goods, shipping, insurance and any customs duties are set out separately in your quotation.
What a carton contains
For the packet range, one carton holds 8 packs of 5 portions — 40 portions per carton. A full 200-carton pallet is therefore 8,000 individual portions. That is worth working through before choosing flavours: most first orders concentrate on three or four proven lines rather than spreading across all eleven.
Bowls are single-serve units, so each bowl is its own retail item and cartons can go straight to shelf. Sauces are 200g bottles.
Mixing flavours
Flavours can be mixed within the same category to reach the minimum carton count. If you want a mixed load across categories — packets and sauces on the same pallet, for example — say so in your inquiry and we will quote it.
