Give the product a clear specification
State the intended user group, product form, proposed fill size and closure. Include the retail channel and destination. If a retailer specified a pack size or artwork requirement, record it separately from options the supplier can propose.
Identify who would handle each part
Ask the respondent to identify the proposed facility and confirm whether its scope includes the product, tube, filling and carton. Note any parties that would supply or assemble the pack. Request the scope and information your purchasing team needs for review.
Prepare the quotation and sample request
Provide quantities by tube size and indicate whether a printed carton should be included. Ask how a sample would represent the proposed product and pack, and which questions must be resolved before an order can be confirmed.
