Custom Packaging Procurement Guides
Use this hub to move from a packaging requirement to the right existing product, technical guide and RFQ checklist without searching the full catalog.
Direct answer: what should a buyer prepare before requesting a packaging quote?
Prepare the product dimensions and weight, order quantity, destination market, preferred packaging structure, material or barrier requirement, print colors, finishes, artwork status and any testing or documentation required for the intended use. These details reduce quotation ambiguity and help the supplier recommend the correct structure before sampling.

Buyer FAQ
Which page should I use if I do not know the material?
Start with the closest product category and send the packed product, dimensions, quantity, destination market and required shelf life or protection level. Material selection should follow the application rather than a generic material claim.
Can a quotation be prepared without final artwork?
Yes. A preliminary quotation can use dimensions, quantity, material, print colors and finishes. Final artwork and dieline review are still needed before an approved production sample.
What makes an RFQ easier to compare across suppliers?
Use the same dimensions, material assumptions, print specification, finish list, insert requirement, quantity, packing method, shipping destination and quality evidence request for every supplier.
