Short answer
Start with the package format, dimensions, current structure or sample, print information, product and filling process, order quantity, annual usage, and ship-to location. For rollstock, add web width, repeat, unwind, core, roll limits, and machine details when known.
Unknown is an acceptable answer
Do not invent a film structure or machine specification to complete a form. Mark the field unknown and attach the current package, roll label, artwork, or prior specification. A clear unknown is easier to resolve than a confident wrong answer.
Explain the reason for the quote
A new launch, cost comparison, second source, performance problem, and machine change are different projects. That context tells the supplier whether matching, redesign, testing, or schedule risk needs attention.
Source basis: PC-003, PC-064, PC-096. Customer details, prices, volumes, and identifying artwork are intentionally excluded.
