Define the base product
Set the approved part number or technical specification before discussing a label. Include capacity, components, firmware, host compatibility and test criteria.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
Plan the product.
Then plan the presentation.
A structured brief for private-label, packaging and repeat-order discussions. Supplier capability, authorization and minimum quantities require confirmation.
Specify the packaging
State retail or bulk pack, unit protection, carton quantities, barcode fields and the information required on a product label.
Agree the approval process
Ask for a written feasibility review, artwork proof and sample approval. Record costs, MOQ, delivery and component-change rules.
CUSTOMIZATION REQUEST MATRIX
Make the request measurable.
| Requirement | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Product label | Brand owner, model, capacity, serial/batch fields and artwork approval |
| Retail box | Dimensions, protection, inserts, language and barcode requirements |
| Bulk packing | ESD protection, tray/bag format and units per carton |
| Traceability | Serial list, lot reference and receiving documentation |
| Component control | Approved BOM, firmware and substitution notification |
| Documents | Actual reports required by the buyer and destination |
From brief to approved sample.
1. Feasibility review
Confirm whether the requested configuration and packaging can be produced, by whom, and under which written terms.
2. Sample approval
Approve the exact product, label and packaging together. Keep photographs and part-number records with the sample result.
3. Order control
Tie the purchase order to the approved specification and proof. Agree inspection, component changes and return handling before shipment.
