Choose the Cat flash cards for a 60-unit test order; choose the Bear version when you need at least 120 units and its approved sample meets your specification. In this flash cards MOQ 120 vs 60 comparison, both catalog records list 60 units per carton, but Bear has a lower reference price: $1.83 versus $1.86. The decision is a smaller initial commitment versus a modest unit-price saving—not different carton sizes.
The figures below come from the October 9, 2026 catalog snapshot. Treat them as order-planning references and reconfirm the current quotation before committing.

Does 60 units per carton mean orders must be multiples of 60?
A 60-unit carton quantity describes packing; it does not, by itself, establish a 60-unit order multiple.
Bear’s 120-unit MOQ equals two cartons at the listed packing quantity. Cat’s 60-unit MOQ equals one carton. A request for 60 Bear units is below its recorded MOQ even though that quantity would fill one carton.
For another quantity, request written confirmation of acceptance and packing. Do not assume that a 90-unit Cat order must be rounded up to 120 merely because the catalog lists 60 units per carton. Confirm partial-carton handling and any associated charge separately.
What changes for a 60-unit test versus a 120-unit order?
| 60-unit requirement: Cat | Order 60 units to meet the recorded MOQ. At 60 units per carton, this is one carton. Reference merchandise subtotal: USD 111.60. |
|---|---|
| 60-unit requirement: Bear | The requested 60 units are below the recorded MOQ. Meeting the 120-unit minimum adds 60 units beyond the requirement and produces two cartons. Reference merchandise subtotal: USD 219.60. |
| 120-unit requirement: Cat | A 120-unit order exceeds the 60-unit minimum and equals two cartons. Reference merchandise subtotal: USD 223.20. |
| 120-unit requirement: Bear | A 120-unit order meets the minimum and equals two cartons. Reference merchandise subtotal: USD 219.60—USD 3.60 less than Cat at the same quantity. |
Which option should a test buyer or volume buyer choose?
Choose Cat when your approved test quantity is 60 units; choose Bear for a requirement of 120 units or more only if its sample is acceptable and the current quote preserves its price advantage.
For the test buyer, the USD 0.03 reference premium per Cat unit buys a lower minimum commitment. Ordering twice the required quantity simply to obtain the lower Bear price defeats that purpose.
At 120 units, Bear’s USD 3.60 merchandise saving is small enough that sample quality, correct content or a difference in quoted charges can outweigh it. Use the lower reference price as a tie-breaker between acceptable products, not a reason to accept a weaker match.
For larger orders, obtain matching quantity quotes for both versions. The catalog comparison does not establish volume-discount tiers.
What should you reconfirm before placing the export order?
Reconfirm the production sample, full commercial quotation and intended-age evidence before approving either version for export.
Request a sample matching the quoted version and packaging. Check the 112-card count, the advertised 224 sight words, target-language content, included components and battery details. Record the approved version so the purchase order identifies what production must match.
Have the quotation state quantity, unit price, currency, delivery terms, packing and any separate charges. Reconfirm the MOQ and whether an order-multiple restriction applies; neither the reference price nor the carton count establishes those terms.
Request the intended age range and its supporting rationale, plus relevant test reports and destination documentation for the final product. Review whether the evidence covers the supplied construction, battery and packaging. These are purchasing checks: a catalog description or an approved commercial sample does not establish certification or age suitability.
