Nobody publishes minimums. Brands spend weeks calling around to find out, and co-packers field enquiries they were never going to take. We publish the numbers, with the source and the date we checked.
The gap between the smallest and the largest run this market will accept is roughly a hundredfold. Almost none of it is published.
Logarithmic. Filled markers are minimums published by a named facility; hollow markers are the category norms quoted across the industry. A pallet is plotted at its approximate case equivalent.
Minimum run, whether formulation is included, and lead time. A brand that knows those three can rule out two-thirds of the market in an afternoon instead of six weeks of calls.
They're almost never published. Directories list a company name and a sentence. Consultancies hold the information behind a contact form. So the calls get made anyway, to the wrong facilities.

Florida first, because it holds the lowest published minimums in the country. Other states follow as the data holds up.
