Products and pack contents
The number of products in each pack, the mix of variants and the handling needed to count and place them.
WHITESQ / QUOTE GUIDE
A quote built around
the work involved.
The pack count is the starting point. The build defines the work.
Two orders with the same number of finished packs can involve very different handling. A simple box fill, a mixed-product tray and a seasonal gift pack each need their own sequence of tasks. We review those tasks and the project requirements before confirming a price.
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR QUOTE
Make each part of the build clear.
Packaging and assembly
Each box, tray, sleeve, divider or insert, together with the folding, assembly and closing steps needed to complete the pack.
Printing, labels and seals
The required print positions, batch or expiry versions, label applications and tamper seals.
Quantity and variations
The finished quantity, quantities for each version or batch, and whether the work is a one-off project or a repeat requirement.
Preparation and quality checks
Build instructions, sample or artwork approval, task setup and the checks required during production and before dispatch.
Cartons, pallets and timing
Outer packing, master-carton and pallet configurations, collection arrangements, material arrival dates and the required completion date.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Describe the steps,
as well as the quantity.
For a retail box, tell us how many products go inside and whether the work includes folding the box, filling it, printing batch details, applying a seal and packing it into a master carton.
For a promotional kit, include every packaging component and insert, the product mix, the finishing steps and the required presentation.
These are illustrative formats. The method and quote are agreed for your actual project.
YOUR PROJECT CHECKLIST
What to send us.
- The products and the quantity of each item in one finished pack.
- The total finished quantity and any split by format, variant or batch.
- A list of supplied packaging and the assembly or finishing required.
- A photograph, specification or sample reference, if available.
- Print, label, seal, batch and expiry requirements.
- Retail packs per master carton and any pallet or retailer requirements.
- Expected material arrival dates, your deadline and collection or delivery arrangements.
Make the counting basis clear: individual retail packs, master cartons or complete kits. For example, 100 master cartons containing 21 retail packs each means 2,100 retail packs to assemble.
COMMON QUESTIONS
You can enquire
before every detail is final.
Do you publish a standard price per pack?
We quote against the work and requirements of the project. Product counts, packaging, assembly, finishing, checks and quantities all contribute to the scope.
What quantity can I enquire about?
Send your expected quantity and whether the work is likely to repeat. We will review the setup and production requirements with you before confirming whether the project is a suitable fit.
How is the completion date agreed?
Timing depends on the specification, approvals, availability of all required products and packaging, production capacity and the handover plan. Share your actual deadline and expected material arrivals in the enquiry.
What if I need to share confidential specifications?
Start with a general description and let us know about your confidentiality requirements. We can arrange to review detailed specifications directly. We respect client NDAs.
Does an enquiry confirm a booking?
No. The specification, quote, timing and availability are agreed before work is booked.
