What details does a stick pack machine quote need?
A stick pack machine quote starts with six details: product, dose, pack, output, site and scope. Fill in what you know for each row below; even partial answers let the team review the filling route and ask useful follow-up questions.
| Detail | Example of useful information |
|---|---|
| Product | Powder, liquid, gel or granules; formulation and handling notes |
| Dose | Target fill weight or volume and any planned range |
| Pack | Finished width, length, seal layout and film specification |
| Output | Required accepted packs per minute and working pattern |
| Site | Power, air supply, available space and destination |
| Scope | Feeding, coding, testing, installation and spare-parts needs |
What happens when you request a quote on WhatsApp?
All quotation requests are handled on WhatsApp. The button opens a draft RFQ with the six details above, this page and a Reference ID. Fill in what you know, edit anything you like and send it. No message is sent automatically.
Keep the Reference ID in your conversation so the team can understand which page you came from. A click is not an order or a confirmed quotation. The team follows up on WhatsApp for the details still missing.
How to fill in the RFQ when details are uncertain
An approximate answer is more useful than a blank. Give a fill-weight range if the dose is not final, a pack width and length if the film is not chosen, and an output range with the working pattern, such as shifts per day, if volumes are still being forecast.
Use the scope line for anything beyond the machine itself: feeding, coding, sample testing, installation and training, or spare parts. Listing these at the start lets the team ask the right questions and lets you compare quotations on the same scope.
State output as accepted packs per minute rather than machine cycles, as the table asks, so offers from different suppliers can be compared on the same basis.
Share documents after agreeing on the channel
Discuss how to provide a product sample, film specification or drawing with the team. Avoid including confidential recipes or unnecessary personal information in an initial message.
The final quotation should identify the contracting entity, equipment configuration, acceptance criteria, delivery terms and support responsibilities.
If you need sample testing, installation and training or spare parts, ask for each to appear as a separate line so its scope and fees can be read on their own.
Common Questions
Do I need a complete specification to start?
No. Fill in the RFQ lines you know and leave the rest blank. The team will ask on WhatsApp for the information needed for the next step.
Does clicking WhatsApp place an order?
No. It opens an editable message. Orders and commitments require a separate agreed quotation and contract.
Can I attach samples or drawings to my first message?
Mention that they exist, but agree how to share them first. Keep confidential recipes and unnecessary personal information out of the initial message; the team will discuss how to provide a product sample, film specification or drawing once the conversation has started.
