For your buying note

Ask for a unit the kitchen can handle.

Find out how much the user opens at one time and where the remaining stock goes. A familiar trade pack may not suit their storage space.

  • Record consumption per service or day.
  • Request the outer format and its net weight.
  • Discuss how an opened pack would be handled.
Describe your order

For your buying note

Separate the retail unit from the shipping unit.

State whether the customer sells sealed packs or divides the stock. Your selling unit and the supplier’s quoted unit need a clear relationship.

  • Describe the unit your customer sells.
  • Ask for the count inside each outer pack.
  • Agree how product identity appears on the label.
Describe your order

For your buying note

Plan the allocation before the outer pack.

List what each receiving point needs. Consolidated delivery and onward distribution are different requests; ask sales to confirm the scope.

  • Record quantities by receiving point.
  • Discuss marks that identify each allocation.
  • Distinguish the first warehouse from the final user.
Describe your order

This planner suggests questions, not available pack formats. Confirm material, net weight, and closures with sales.

Plan the packing

If you want a quotation, three steps.

  1. Send the requirement

    Say what it is for, roughly how much (with the unit), the packing you want, and where it goes.

  2. Talk product and trial

    Ask which options exist and how your customer can try a sample.

  3. Match the quotation

    Check goods, pack count, delivery, payment and timing before you say yes.
