Perfume bottles, pumps, caps and boxes — one packaging brief

Get a second packaging option on a comparable basis

You can keep your current filler or supplier while requesting an alternative packaging proposal. Share drawings or component references, quantities, decoration, destination and the required date. Identify which parts are fixed and which may change. The first review establishes missing information and the work to quote; it does not confirm a supplier, fixed MOQ or delivery slot.

• Agree supplier search, sample coordination, comparison and follow-up responsibilities before paid work begins.
• Request dated component quotations with separate sample, tooling, decoration, assembly, service, inspection and freight charges. Mark exclusions and quote validity.
• Confirm the assembler, filler, compatibility evaluator and buyer approver. A similar neck size or catalogue photo does not establish a matched set.
• Approve the identified assembled sample and any unresolved changes before issuing production instructions.

Build the component file before comparing prices

These three blank worksheets connect specifications, sample evidence and the number of usable complete sets. They are planning tools, not a catalogue of available stock or completed project results. Use one revision across every component supplier.

• 2. Assembled sample approval — agreed checks and evidence (CSV)
• 3. Complete-set cost — component minima and unmatched stock (CSV)

Perfume bottle and pump sourcing

Use a drawing or physical reference for the bottle and closure connection. Ask which supplier is responsible for assembly and the compatibility assessment using the actual liquid. Keep glass or other container details, pump output requirements, cap fit, decoration and box inserts in one approval record.

• Request separate minima for the bottle, pump, cap, decoration and outer box.
• Compare existing mould options before committing to custom tooling.
• Review leakage, label adhesion and handling observations on the filled sample.

Makeup brush handles, logo printing and packaging

A custom handle changes the brush assembly as well as its appearance. Align the handle specification with the ferrule and brush supplier, then approve the logo and finish on a sample. For a pouch or box, provide all brush dimensions and the intended layout so quotes cover the same complete set.

Gift boxes, discovery sets and printed cartons

The outside dimensions do not define insert fit. Share the actual products or accurate drawings and identify how they should be held and presented. Approve print, colour references, insert material and the assembled pack. Clarify whether the packaging supplier or another party will assemble and label the final sets.

Component MOQ, tooling and approval sequence

A finished retail set can contain components with different minimum quantities. The comparison should show the number of usable sets, remaining components, tooling or setup charges and any storage arrangement. Agree who owns artwork and tooling, what changes are included in samples and when the final packed sample is approved.

From approved pack to carton and shipment data

Confirm packed dimensions, unit weight, carton quantity, gross weight and outer protection after assembly. Keep fragile containers and any special product handling requirements visible to the consolidation team. Use the final carton record for freight comparison rather than the product's unwrapped dimensions.
