Creating specs with suppliers

When you're starting a quote request, you'll be asked "Have you produced this item in the past?" If you choose yes, you'll be prompted to select the item(s) that you want to quote.

If you choose no you can fill out the packaging details, even if you don't have exact specs. Your quote request will be tagged "Packaging development."

In the Packaging overview field, you'll be asked to describe your project and how the packaging will be used. Here are some details you'll want to include:

• What product(s) are going in the packaging?
• Is the packaging for ecommerce, in-store, or both?
• What aspects of the packaging are most important to you? (i.e. sustainability, luxury, efficiency, etc)
• Have you decided on any print details? (i.e. all-over printing, exterior, interior, foils, etc)
• Is this packaging meant to remain evergreen, or is it for a limited run?

Packaging type: Here, you'll select the type of packaging you are looking for. This helps the right suppliers find your project more easily.

Title: This is how your packaging item will be referenced to suppliers and in your own dashboard, so the more specific you are the better. For example: Spring '22 sweatshirt mailer, Medium candle box, Holiday '22 tape.

Finally, you'll enter quantity breaks and annual projected units. MOQs vary by supplier, and this information will help suppliers guide you to options for materials or printing that are feasible for your production timeline.
