lot size/multiples
Explanation:
Looks like the term may need a different translation for each source sentence in your examples.

chokladerna beställs i jämna poster á 5000 bitar
I interpreted this as meaning "the lot size is 5000 pieces"

Minsta order: 15 kg (beställ i jämna poster om 5 kg)
I interpreted this as meaning "order in multiples of 5 kg" ie the order must be for 15 kg, 20 kg, 25 kg etc
