Start with information that enables selection
Share the application, capacity, dispensing method, estimated quantity, destination and target delivery. Mark open decisions as requests for recommendations. You can begin without a final closure or colour, provided unknowns are not mistaken for agreed defaults.
| Information | How to describe it |
|---|---|
| Application | Actual shampoo, skincare or other use |
| Capacity | Desired fill, or undecided |
| Closure | Named part or recommendation |
| Quantity | Estimate per design and colour |
| Artwork | Direction and current revision |
| Timing | Target arrival and destination |
Turn references into requirements
Annotate reference images to distinguish shape, colour and decoration intentions instead of implying an exact copy. Identify existing drawings, samples, components and artwork revisions. Agree how the appropriate team will provide any information needed for formula evaluation.
Ask for explicit quotation boundaries
Ask the supplier to state included work, open decisions, order conditions, sampling and delivery basis. Compare suppliers against the same brief revision. A quote for an undecorated bottle cannot be directly compared with one for a finished assembly.
Your Project Checklist
- Application, capacity and quantity
- Components, material and artwork
- Market, timing and quotation scope
