1. Why Quote Requests Get Ignored
Factories get dozens of vague messages like:
🚫 “Can you make a hoodie?”
🚫 “How much is a shirt?”
These don’t provide enough detail to calculate cost — so they often get ignored or delayed.
2. What to Include in a Quotation Request
| Info to Include | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Type | T-shirt, hoodie, jogger, etc. |
| Quantity | Total units per style (and per size/color if known) |
| Fabric | Type, weight (e.g. 100% cotton, 260gsm) |
| Colorways | How many? Dyed or printed? |
| Artwork | Printing or embroidery? File format? |
| Label & Packaging | Neck label, hangtag, folding, polybag? |
| Reference photo | If no tech pack, send a similar image |
| Timeline | When you need sample and final delivery |
| Shipping location | Needed for freight estimate |
