2.8 oz dry shampoo powder pump RFQ example
A buyer needed a cleaner non-aerosol dispensing route after the current pump stayed down or clogged during use. This breakdown shows what the factory needs to test before a reliable quote can be compared.

Why the first email is not the final specification
The factory still needs testable answers.
Powder pumps are sensitive to particle distribution, density, oil content, static and humidity. A photo can identify the mechanism, but only production-representative powder and measurable acceptance criteria can show whether the system returns, doses and stays clear over repeated use.
Questions that change the recommendation
- Can the factory receive enough production-representative powder for repeat testing?
- What dose and spray pattern should one full actuation produce?
- What are the powder's particle-size range, density and oil content, if known?
- How will the package be filled, stored and used by the customer?
- How many cycles must pass without clogging, leakage or a failed return?
Factory review path
From RFQ to comparable quotation.
Each step reduces a different purchasing risk before the order is released.
01
Review the failed pack
Inspect the current pump, bottle interface and failure video or sample to identify the likely flow-path problem.
02
Test the real formula
Run representative powder through available pump, sifter and controlled-cap candidates.
03
Define acceptance
Measure dose, pattern, return, leakage, clogging and storage behavior rather than relying on appearance.
04
Quote the approved route
Return the complete assembly, MOQ, sample status, tooling if needed, lead time and shipment basis.
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.
- Candidate bottle and dispensing assembly
- Formula test plan and sample quantity
- Existing-component or tooling route
- MOQ, unit-price and lead-time basis
- Packing and delivery assumptions
