A quotation is easier to prepare when the packaging brief describes the complete product set. A bottle, sprayer, cap, decoration and protective packing can all affect the final specification and delivery plan.
1. Define the bottle specification
Start with the application, capacity, preferred shape and glass colour. Reference photographs, drawings or an existing sample are useful when the project needs a particular silhouette or proportion.
2. List the matching components
Describe the sprayer, pump, cap, stopper or insert you expect to use. Include the finish, colour and dispensing requirements. If the component has to be matched to an existing formula or filling line, mention that in the brief.
3. Explain decoration and branding
Share the logo, artwork, colour references and desired finish. It is helpful to state whether you are considering printing, frosting, coating, hot stamping, labelling or a combination of methods.
4. Add quantity, samples and delivery details
Include the estimated order quantity, sample quantity, target market and shipping destination. These details help the supplier understand the expected packing method and the information needed for a realistic quotation.
A clear brief does not need to be long. It needs to describe the product, the components, the finish and the next decision you want to make.
Prepare the next step
Once the brief is reviewed, the next stage is usually to compare suitable bottle and closure options, confirm samples and then finalize decoration and packing details. Keeping these decisions together reduces revisions later in the project.
