Describe the item and its function, then supply available artwork and physical requirements. For several items in one inquiry, give each a project reference to distinguish its files, quantity and finishing instructions.
Include:
- The printed item required, such as a manual, catalog, card or suitable custom publication.
- Its intended use, finished dimensions and page extent or component count.
- The current revision or edition, together with a list of supplied file sets.
- Quantity by item and version, including differences between otherwise similar pieces.
- Paper or material requirements, with alternatives identified where you want a comparison.
- Color expectations and any physical reference needed for proof review.
- Binding or finishing requirements where applicable, including the purpose of any particular treatment.
- Packing groups, identification and the destination and timing requirements for receipt.
For an updated item, describe content changes and any changes to its physical form. A revision may retain the construction; a changed format may need separate review. State your intentions and unresolved choices so the quotation addresses the decisions you still need to make.
