FAQ

What should a startup beauty brand prepare before RFQ?

Prepare product dimensions, product weight, product category, launch channel, desired packaging structure, artwork status, finish reference, insert needs, quantity direction and sampling purpose.

Should startup brands ask for price first?

A price-first RFQ is usually weak. The supplier needs structure, material, finish, insert and project scope before meaningful quote review.

Which packaging types should be compared?

Common structures include folding cartons, rigid gift boxes, sleeves, drawer boxes, paper tubes, inserts, trays and clear display boxes.

What should not be assumed before project review?

Do not assume preset order terms, preset schedules, preset prices, named buyer examples, platform-badge status or destination-market approval before project-specific confirmation.
