cobalt blue glass bottles
Prepare a comparable request so two plants quote cobalt blue glass bottles on the same capacity, neck finish, decoration and destination. This page is the matching method, not a factory appointment.
What every comparable factory quote should include
Same construction line
Capacity in ml, neck finish, glass weight if the plant states it, cobalt shade reference, and whether the bottle is plain or decorated. If one plant quotes a 500 ml boston round and another quotes a 16 oz boston round, convert both before comparing.
Same commercial envelope
Quantity in pieces or cartons, incoterm, destination state, and requested delivery date. A piece price that hides inner trays or pallet pattern is not yet comparable to a packed-out price.
Same exclusions list
Ask each plant to list mould, neck-ring or plate charges, sample lots, artwork revisions, and freight. Those items stay outside the piece price so the buyer can see total procurement cost.
How a request moves
-
1. Read the brief
We check that capacity and neck finish are a bound pair, that intended fill is named, and that quantity uses a unit the plants can quote. Missing fields go back to the buyer as questions, not as invented numbers.
-
2. Ask plants on one basis
Candidate original manufacturers receive the same line items. We do not claim those plants are pre-audited by this desk. Plant ISO 9001 or BRCGS Packaging files, when requested, come from the named supplier.
-
3. Line up replies
Replies are placed next to each other only after units, exclusions and destination match. A later sample or artwork change reopens the comparison; it does not inherit an older piece price.
-
4. Hand documents back
The buyer receives the aligned replies and the open questions. Purchase decisions and payments stay with the buyer and the named plant.
Send the same brief to start matching
List tooling, plate, freight and document costs outside the piece price so two cobalt blue glass bottles replies can be read together.
- Construction line in one unit system
- Quantity and destination on the same envelope
- Exclusions written by each plant
- Optional budget and preference, not a rating
