Packaging and private-label buyer brief

Set out pack dimensions, materials, artwork, labels and sample approval before requesting a quotation.

1. Describe what is being packed

Begin with the product and the purpose of the package.

  • Give the product, quantity or weight per pack and intended use.
  • State whether you need standard packaging, custom packaging or your own brand label.
  • Share a reference sample, photograph or drawing if available.

2. Give dimensions and materials

Label dimensions clearly so that internal and external measurements are not confused.

  • Provide length, width and height with units, marking internal or external dimensions.
  • List your requested material, structure, closure and finish.
  • Describe protective inserts, outer cartons or pallet preferences.

3. Prepare the artwork brief

Provide the information that needs to appear on the pack.

  • Share the brand name, logo, colours and print references.
  • Identify label languages, variable fields and buyer-required wording.
  • Name the person who will approve the final artwork and proof.

4. Set sample and approval steps

Say what must be reviewed before production is agreed.

  • Request the sample type you need: material, printed proof or finished pack.
  • Agree sample availability, costs, courier arrangements and review timeline.
  • Record the approved dimensions, artwork version and packing specification.

5. Complete the order brief

Connect the packaging request to the quantity, destination and schedule.

  • State quantities per size or artwork version and any repeat-order plans.
  • List destination-specific label or document requirements supplied by your buyer.
  • Confirm feasibility, minimum quantity, charges and lead time in the written offer.
