Quick Answer

Quick Summary

Use this quick packaging brief to record the contents of each gift set, proposed bottle sizes, scent count, insert and box preferences, carton quantities and target arrival date. Unconfirmed combinations and dates remain subject to project review.

Key Takeaways

  • Packaging decisions
  • What buyers should prepare
  • What affects lead time
  • Next step

Use this quick gift-set RFQ checklist to describe what goes in each set, how it should be packed and when it is needed. It is a buyer brief for project review, not a confirmed packaging specification or quotation.

Packaging decisions

Gift sets may include bottles, body mist, minis, discovery formats, inserts, sleeves, rigid boxes, color boxes, and display cartons.

What buyers should prepare

Prepare set components, bottle sizes, scent count, box reference, artwork direction, target quantity, and launch date.

What affects lead time

Custom box structure, insert development, artwork approval, bottle supply, assembly, and carton planning can affect lead time.

Next step

Review the Perfume Gift Sets category and private label process before sending a gift set RFQ.

Next buyer action

Before requesting a quote, prepare your product type, target market, estimated quantity, packaging reference, budget range, and launch timeline so the project can be reviewed efficiently.

Copyable gift-set packaging brief

Filled example: a two-scent seasonal gift set

This is a fictional, filled-in RFQ example. All names, dimensions, quantities, prices and dates below are illustrative buyer requests, not a customer case, approved specification, available product, minimum order or LAEYO commitment. Submit your own details and ask the project team to confirm feasibility, packing and quotation scope.

Fictional buyer example: 1,200 two-bottle sets; all requested choices remain subject to project review.
RFQ fieldFilled illustrative request
Project and contactExample Seasonal Duo, an OEM/ODM adult fragrance gift set. Fictional buyer contact: Procurement Team, [email protected]; replace this example address before sending.
Market, occasion and arrivalUK beauty retail and ecommerce, holiday gifting. Requested arrival at a London warehouse: 15 October 2027. Ask for the proposed schedule and delivery term; the date is a buyer target only.
Set quantity and contentsRequest 1,200 complete sets. Each set contains one 50 mL scent A bottle and one 50 mL scent B bottle: two bottles and two distinct fragrances per set. Total net requirement: 1,200 A bottles + 1,200 B bottles = 2,400 bottles.
Scent, bottle and closure referencesScent A: citrus/woods direction; scent B: soft floral/musk direction. Request the same proposed 50 mL rectangular bottle, spray pump and cap for both, differentiated by label. Illustrative capped-bottle envelope: 100 × 45 × 30 mm; supplier must confirm actual drawings and dimensions before insert design.
Box and insertRequest one folding-carton structure with one shared English artwork and a paperboard insert holding the two bottles separately in a laid-flat arrangement. Request a proposed dieline and sample, then confirm retention, clearances, final dimensions and material specification. No ribbon, bag or extra accessory.
Artwork and labelsNo approved dieline yet. Buyer will supply English artwork after the dieline is confirmed. Two bottle-label versions, 1,200 of each; one outer-box version, 1,200 pieces. Buyer provides barcode content and requests placement on the box base for review.
Assembly requestPlace one A and one B bottle in each insert, verify the scent/label pairing, close the retail carton and pack complete sets. Ask the project team to propose the assembly checks, acceptance criteria and sample approval record before approving the specification.
Shipping-carton planRequest 12 complete sets per master carton: 1,200 ÷ 12 = 100 cartons. Each carton therefore contains 24 bottles. Final carton dimensions, gross weight, dividers and marking remain for supplier proposal after retail-pack approval; confirm transport and handling limits.
Budget and quote scopeIllustrative buyer ceiling: USD 8.00 per complete filled set before freight, duties and taxes. Quote liquids, bottles/closures, labels, retail box, insert, assembly and master packing on a clear included/excluded basis. List setup, samples, assessments, overage/spares and delivery separately; the ceiling is not a manufacturer price.
Approval and open decisionsFictional buyer packaging lead approves the complete packed sample and artwork. Supplier proposes component references, drawings, pack materials, dimensions, assembly plan and the applicable review/testing scope. Agree the acceptance criteria, responsibilities, records and any transport review before bulk approval; confirm MOQ, accepted SKU split, charges and milestones in the quotation.

For this example, net packing demand is 2,400 filled bottle/pump/cap units, 2,400 bottle labels, 1,200 retail boxes, 1,200 inserts and 100 master cartons. These totals exclude allowances and replacement pieces. Keeping bottle, set and carton units separate lets the supplier quote component use and assembly work without treating 1,200 sets as 1,200 bottles.

Mark proposed combinations clearly

List each bottle or other component separately, then state the total pieces per set. If a size, insert or box structure is undecided, write “not sure; options requested”. Ask the project team to confirm the combination and packing plan before treating it as an approved specification.

Use this page for the short RFQ field checklist. Detailed structural design, material selection and testing should be reviewed for the specific package. Send your gift-set project inquiry with the completed fields.
