How to use it

From open brief to written comparison.

    Close gaps before approval.

    Resolve open points and freeze the final specification, artwork, samples, documents, packing and shipment scope in writing.

Template questions

What the file does and does not do.

What is included in the food packaging RFQ template?
The Excel workbook contains an RFQ Brief for project and product requirements and a Quote Comparison sheet for supplier identity, MOQ, quantity, price, packing, samples, documents, timing and delivery terms.
Can the template be used without an exact product SKU?
Yes. Enter the closest format, intended food or application, dimensions or capacity, material, quantity and destination. Keep the exact model as an open field for written confirmation.
Does completing the template confirm food-contact suitability?
No. The template organizes the request. Suitability, supporting records and destination requirements must be reviewed for the exact product model and intended conditions.
How should supplier prices be compared in the workbook?
Compare price only when the model specification, quantity unit, artwork, documents, packing, delivery basis and timing match. The workbook calculates estimated goods value and case count but does not select a supplier automatically.
