120 cc HDPE packer bottle RFQ example
A supplement manufacturer requested a second-source comparison for a white straight-sided packer bottle. The factory found a close existing format, but sample approval remained necessary because line-critical dimensions were not identical.

- 20,000-25,000 sets
- Drawing diameter

- Drawing height
- Approximately 3.792 in
- Bottle weight
- 17 +/- 1 g
- Overflow capacity
- 158 +/- 5 cc
Why the first email is not the final specification
The factory still needs testable answers.
A nominal 120 cc capacity and 38-400 thread do not guarantee an interchangeable bottle. Diameter, height, overflow, bottle weight, neck geometry, cap torque, liner construction and filling-line behavior can determine whether a close mold is usable.
Questions that change the recommendation
- Which drawing tolerances are critical to the filling, labeling and packing lines?
- Is the order bottle-only or a complete cap-and-liner set?
- Which induction-sealing equipment and foil-liner construction are used?
- What commercial ZIP code and required date should be used for delivered pricing?
- How frequently is the 20,000-25,000 unit order repeated?
Factory review path
From RFQ to comparable quotation.
Each step reduces a different purchasing risk before the order is released.
01
Compare drawing to mold
Classify the available bottle as exact, close or unsuitable against dimensions and neck details.
02
Build the complete set
Match the 38-400 closure and foil liner instead of evaluating the bottle in isolation.
03
Run physical samples
Check filling, cap torque, induction seal, label fit, case packing and product compatibility.
04
Return two price views
Separate factory price from packing, freight and delivered-cost assumptions for comparison.
Quote output
What a useful factory response should return.
The quotation should make product fit, sample status and commercial assumptions visible enough for the buyer to compare routes.
- Drawing-to-mold comparison
- Bottle, cap and liner specification
- Physical sample plan
- 20,000 and 25,000 unit price breaks
- Production, packing and delivery basis
