Match the specification and quantity units first
- Material and format: roll, sheet, individual bag or roll bag
- Width, length and thickness with units, including how folds and allowances are specified
- Quantity basis: individual pieces, rolls or kilograms
- For rolls, the length or weight per roll needed to compare quotes
- New production or repeat order, and available samples or specifications
Check printing, processing and delivery separately
Provide colour references, artwork and print position, processing format, packing units, destination and requested timing. Check whether tax, transport and any initial production costs are included or separate. This checklist does not mean that a particular charge will always apply.
Confirm minimum quantity, lead time and price for the actual requirements
Do not assume a universal minimum order or fixed price. Send product photos, specifications, expected quantity and destination for a review of production feasibility and the details to confirm. Mark requirements that are not decided yet as unconfirmed.
QUESTIONS TO CHECK
Questions buyers often check
Can a per-kilogram price be compared directly with a per-piece price?
Not directly. First confirm matching material, dimensions and thickness, plus the weight or piece count needed for conversion. Do not calculate with an assumed product weight.
Where can I confirm minimum order quantity and lead time?
They are discussed after reviewing the specification, expected quantity, processing or printing and delivery conditions. Include product photos or specifications, requested timing and destination in your enquiry.
What should I check besides the unit price?
Check quantity units, specifications, printing and processing, packing units, whether tax and transport are included, and delivery conditions. Confirm missing details before comparing quotes.
