What a Private Label Quote Contains and How to Check It


The written quote states price, sample plan and price, minimum order and lead time. See each line, what to check, and what to ask before you accept.

Short answer: a quote states the price, the sample plan and sample price, the minimum order and the lead time. Check each line against your brief, and ask for the lead time to be counted from sample approval.
