Lead time: {{lead}}. Freight: {{freight}}. Payment: {{terms}}. #### Assumptions **Body:** Pricing assumes supplied artwork is print-ready and matches the approved die-line. Artwork changes, color changes, special inks, additional proofs and rush production are quoted separately. Prices are based on the specification above and current material costs, and may be revised if the specification or material surcharges change before order. #### Acceptance **Body:** Quantity ordered: ____________________ Customer PO: ____________________ **Signatures:** - Customer authorized signature and date - Supplier authorized signature and date **Notes:** This is a starting point and not legal advice. Have counsel review your standard terms, tooling ownership clause and limitation of liability. Add material surcharge, price validity and cancellation terms to match your own policies. ## Content **Intro:** A clear quote prevents disputes about quantity, tooling and lead time. This template captures the specification, price breaks, one-time charges, overs and unders, freight and acceptance in a format you can send as a Word or PDF document. **Sections:** #### How to use it **Body:** Fill in your company, the customer, the quote number and validity period. Describe the product and write the specification in the textarea: material, print, finishing and packing. Enter up to three quantity price breaks with prices per thousand, then add tooling or set-up charges, overs and unders, lead time, freight and payment terms. Preview the document and export it to Word to adjust wording or to PDF to send. #### What a converting quote should include **Body:** The quote needs enough specification that two estimators would price it the same way: material and caliper, colors and coatings, finishing, packing and delivery. Price breaks show how cost per thousand falls as the quantity rises. Tooling is quoted separately with an ownership statement. Overs and unders are industry practice in print and converting, often around 10 percent, and should be explicit. **Bullets:** - Specification: material, print, finish, packing - Price breaks per thousand at three quantities - Tooling, plates and set-up as one-time charges - Overs and unders, lead time, freight and payment #### Using the price breaks **Body:** Build the price breaks from your cost worksheet by changing quantity and keeping setup fixed. Price per thousand will drop quickly between the first and second break and slowly after that. Present prices that reflect real cost steps rather than round discounts, and avoid breaks so close together that they confuse buyers. #### Common mistakes **Body:** Quotes cause trouble when overs and unders are omitted, when tooling ownership is unclear, when a validity period is missing and material prices move, or when a spec change is not tied to a re-quote. Keep one quote number for each version and note changes in writing. **Bullets:** - State validity and a material surcharge clause - Quote artwork changes and proofs separately - Confirm the die-line and approved proof before production **Cta:** If quotes are assembled by hand from several systems, we can help build an on-prem assistant that drafts a quote from your item, routing and pricing data for an estimator to review and approve. **Faq:** #### What are overs and unders? **Answer:** Overs and unders let the supplier ship slightly more or fewer pieces than ordered because press waste and counting vary. Ten percent is a common convention in some print sectors, but agree it in writing and bill at the unit price. #### Who owns the tooling? **Answer:** It depends on the agreement. Many converters keep dies and plates and store them for repeat orders, while some customers pay in full and take ownership. State the rule on the quote so there is no argument at reorder. #### How long should a quote be valid? **Answer:** Thirty days is common, and shorter when raw material prices are volatile. Add a surcharge clause so a material price jump does not become a loss on an open quote. #### Can I add more price breaks? **Answer:** Export to Word and add rows to the pricing table. For many breaks, use the converting job quote worksheet to compute them first and paste the results. ## Search terms packaging quotation template, label quote template, carton quote template word, converting quote format, packaging quote form, printing quotation template, price break quote template, custom packaging quote sample --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
