The Quote That Gets Results
A well-structured packaging RFQ receives accurate, comparable quotes. A poorly structured one receives inconsistent responses that cannot be evaluated side by side.
Essential RFQ Elements
Product dimensions with tolerance requirements and product weight including packaging variant details. Target order quantity with annual volume projection. Material specifications with board grade and thickness requirements.
Technical Specifications
Print requirements specifying color count, coverage, and special inks with finishing requirements for coating, foil stamping, and embossing. Structural requirements including box style, closure type, and insert design.
Commercial Terms
Request pricing at multiple quantity tiers with lead time for sample and production. Payment terms including deposit and balance structure. Shipping terms with Incoterms and delivery destination.
Evaluation Criteria
Compare total landed cost not just unit price with quality sample evaluation against specifications. Communication responsiveness and professionalism during quoting. Manufacturing capability evidence including certifications and equipment.
