BUYER GUIDE / PROJECT BRIEF

THERMOFORMED PACKAGING RFQ

Prepare a thermoformed packaging RFQ

A useful brief reduces assumptions before material direction, structure review, sampling and quotation.

Start the project brief

01 / CORE CHECKLIST

Prepare nine essential inputs

02 / APPLICATION BRIEFS

Each tray direction needs different evidence

01 / PP / Polypropylene

PP food tray

Grease resistant · Stackable

Product dimensions and weight, direct-food-contact status, service temperature, sealing method, case quantity and stacking height.

Review product requirements →
02 / PETG / Copolyester

PETG medical tray

Clarity · Toughness

Device geometry and sensitive areas, cleanliness level, sterilization method, assembly flow, regulatory and validation requirements.

Review product requirements →
03 / PS / Antistatic grade

Antistatic PS electronics tray

10⁹–10¹¹ Ω

Component geometry and sensitive leads, resistance target, test standard, cleanliness, reuse cycles, stacking and automated pick method.

Review product requirements →
04 / Flock / Formed substrate

Premium flocked tray

Silky · Sculpted · Premium

Product dimensions and weight, brand color, desired pile feel, visible areas, contact requirements, drop conditions and gift-box assembly.

Review product requirements →
05 / Fabric laminate / PVC

Fabric-laminated PVC liquor tray

Support · Textile finish

Bottle 3D dimensions and weight, fragile areas, accessory set, fabric color and texture, box space, shipping and drop requirements.

Review product requirements →

03 / MOLD & SAMPLE

Confirm geometry before production approval

A project normally starts with product geometry and use-condition review, then defines material and structure direction, sample validation scope and production approval evidence. Tooling route and timing remain project-specific.

04 / PRICE DRIVERS

Price follows the complete project specification

Material, gauge, dimensions, cavity layout, geometry, functional treatment, tooling, quantity, inspection, packing and delivery requirements all affect quotation.

05 / VALIDATION GATES

Turn “acceptable” into testable conditions

Confirm fit, retention, stacking, contact, appearance, transport, electrical performance, cleanliness, sealing and destination-market needs where relevant.

06 / AFTER SUBMISSION

Six steps after the brief arrives

  1. 01Requirement review
  2. 02Material direction
  3. 03Structure & tooling
  4. 04Sample validation
  5. 05Controlled production
  6. 06Packing & delivery

07 / START THE BRIEF

Start with the conditions you already know

If a complete drawing is unavailable, begin with photos, key dimensions and the application. Unknowns can be clarified during assessment.
