Quantity or design mix changes
Reconfirm each component quantity, set definition, unit-price basis, packing and schedule for the revised order.
01Manufacturing and service capabilities
Turn your packaging brief into a quote-ready specification
Use this guide to prepare material, GSM, structure, sampling, quantity, destination, and document requirements before requesting a quote.
02Quote preparation
Four inputs that make a quote move faster
Quote requirements
Share the product use, dimensions, material or GSM target, quantity, and destination market.
Material and GSM
Paper grade, coating, board construction, and converting requirements are reviewed together.
Sampling and OEM / ODM
Drawings, dimensions, folds, printing, and finishing can be confirmed through project samples.
Export packing and documents
Packing method, shipment preparation, and available project documents are confirmed before dispatch.
03Procurement checkpoints
The checklist every project runs through
MOQ by specification
MOQ depends on the material, structure, converting method, and production setup.
Sample review
Structural fit and key specifications are reviewed before batch production.
Quality checkpoints
Material, dimensions, finish, and packing requirements are checked at relevant stages.
Destination requirements
Tell us the destination market and any product-use or documentation requirements for review.

How to compare two packaging quotes
Align both quotes with one brief, drawing and component list before comparing prices. Record scope differences item by item. This is a comparison method, not a statement of Kehong's charging policy.
| Scope | Record in each quote | Comparison question |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Paper reference, layers, flute, visible faces and confirmed finish. | Which specification and physical reference are shared by both quotes? |
| Structure & dimensions | Drawing version; internal vs external dimensions; openings and assembly. | Are the fit and delivery form the same? |
| Components | Outer box, insert, divider, board, pad, sleeve or auxiliary part listed separately. | Does the price cover the whole pack or only one component? |
| Quantity per design | Quantity and unit for every size, artwork and component; define contents of a set. | Are quantities and the unit-price basis comparable? |
| Samples & tooling | Whether samples, dies, plates or other setup items are included or separately quoted. | What is included, and what must be confirmed separately? |
| Delivery state | Raw stock, die-cut flat, pre-glued component, or assembled packaging; assembly responsibility. | Will the receiving team need extra converting or labour? |
| Packing | Pieces per bundle/carton, mixed-item policy, labels, protection and pallet requirement. | Are carton counts and packing assumptions aligned? |
| Transport & commercial basis | Named destination, delivery term and version, currency, taxes and included/excluded transport legs. | Compare the same delivery point; flag unknown costs before choosing. |
Compare delivery volume and remaining assembly work for flat and erected empty boxes.
Define a set so quantities remain clear
Example: one box-and-insert set contains one outer box and one insert. This illustrates a counting method, not a default order quantity. Record separate procurement quantities when components need different spare allowances or deliveries. Use the existing buying project to keep multiple items, then copy or print one brief for a consistent comparison.
Review your buying projectVersion review before a reorder
Reorder change checklist
Share the previous order or project reference and the approved drawing, material, artwork and sample versions. State what remains unchanged and list each change. An old sample does not automatically cover new contents or a new use.
Product dimensions, mass or cap changes
Recheck contact points, cavities, removal clearance, outer-box fit and the affected structural sample.
Material, layer or finish changes
Reconfirm thickness, fold/crease behaviour, visible edges, print appearance and documents for the intended use.
Artwork or branding changes
Match artwork to the current dieline; review print faces, colour reference, finish positions and proof version.
Use, route or destination changes
Review loaded configuration, moisture/storage conditions, distribution checks, packing and required documentation.

Bring multiple packaging SKUs into one project brief
When buying for resale, brand customers or replenishment, start with an itemized brief so each specification can be reviewed and quoted.
List specifications by SKU
For each item, note the use, packed-product dimensions, structure, material preference and estimated quantity. Reference photos or an existing sample can help.
Separate brands & artwork versions
Identify shared structures and differences in logos, languages, colours or artwork. List the quantity for each version separately.
Review boxes & inserts together
Describe product fit, units per carton, assembly and storage or handling conditions. Review the box, insert and dividers as a complete loaded pack.
Define the order & delivery needs
Include initial quantities, expected repeat needs, destination and requested arrival date. Ask about split deliveries or combined specifications; arrangements need individual confirmation.
You can start with an incomplete brief
Use these four headings to organize your message in the quote form. Mark unknown dimensions, materials or quantities as “Not sure / Need recommendation”; review the structure and sample plan before finalizing quote details.
Confirm commercial terms for your project
MOQ per specification and artwork, unit price, sample and tooling costs, production timing, freight and trade terms require review and quotation. Include the destination market and required documents so their scope and availability can be checked.
