What we need to quote accurately

Preferred size, format or application so we can avoid quoting the wrong spec.
Artwork status: logo only, partly ready, or print-ready files with dielines.
Target delivery timing and whether this is a launch order, restock or repeat run.
What affects lead time
We prefer explaining the variables instead of giving blanket promises.
Product type, quantity, print coverage and whether the route uses standard or bespoke dimensions.
How quickly artwork, proofs and final approvals are supplied back.
Whether samples, multiple SKUs or mixed delivery timing are part of the brief.
Which production route best fits the order once MOQ, timing and finish are confirmed.
Sample, delivery and approval assurance
How we keep the order path defensible before and after sign-off.
We confirm the production and delivery plan before order approval rather than relying on blanket lead-time promises.
Digital proofs are checked before production starts, and repeat orders can follow the saved approved spec.
Samples or material checks can be discussed before a full production run where that makes sense for the category.
Delivery tracking and order-stage updates are shared once the job is in motion.
