What the buyer needs to decide
The key decision is part shape, draft, wall thickness, relief, tooling, finish, quantity, and inspection points. Define purpose, audience, quantity, destination, and target date first. Then record material, dimensions, thickness, relief, colors, plating, hardware, packaging, inspection, and shipping assumptions.
How to prepare the specification
Provide front and reverse artwork, approximate dimensions, color references, wording, quantity per design, packaging needs, and the responsible approver. Identify fixed and flexible details. Review the proof at finished size and retain the approved specification for production and future reorders.
The risk to avoid
The main risk is sending artwork without considering how the shape will release from the tooling Reduce it with a written scope that separates tooling, sampling, revisions, production, inspection, packing, freight, and delivery assumptions. A physical sample is useful when color, weight, fit, finish, relief, packaging, or project visibility matters.

FAQ
Can I request a quote before the artwork is final?
Yes. A draft or reference can support an initial discussion, while the final quote depends on approved specifications.
When is a sample useful?

Can the product be reordered?
Reorders are easier when approved artwork, tooling, finish, packaging, and quantity records are retained and reconfirmed.
