Tell us what you need ↗- 01
Prepare a technical brief
Bring together product definition, measurements, materials and quantity breakdown. Distinguish a reference image from an agreed technical specification.
- 02
Samples and acceptance criteria
Define which sample or criteria govern colour, measurements, appearance and workmanship. Clarify responsibility for approval.
- 03
Compare commercial scope
Review unit price, sampling costs, packing, destination and payment conditions on a consistent basis.
- 04
Plan production and delivery
Agree approval dates, inspection points, production/shipment schedules and the approach to deviations in writing.
Clear questions. A better beginning.
Clarify before ordering.
Make scope, documentation needs and responsibilities clear from the first conversation.
Can I request custom production or branded labels?
Include product and labelling requirements in the brief. Custom production options, quantities and suitable manufacturers are confirmed for the enquiry.
Why is sample approval a separate step?
A product name does not fully describe colour, measurements or workmanship. Agree samples and acceptance criteria in writing before ordering.
Are the products certified?
Specify the document and its intended purpose. Validity, scope and its link to the manufacturer and product must be verified before any certification is claimed.
