Order increments refer to the specific fixed measurement that an item may be ordered in. This is in addition to the minimum order quantity. For example, if an item has a minimum order quantity of 8 yards and an order increment of 4 yards, it may only be ordered for at least 8 yards with additional material added in 4- yard increments, e.g., 12 yards, 16 yards, 20 yards, etc. This detail is listed on our website under the item specifications.
