Why the brief decides the price
A quotation is only as exact as the brief behind it. Missing quantity, an unclear size or an unknown delivery country each force a supplier to guess, and a guess is usually priced with a margin for safety. A complete brief gets a tighter quote and a faster first design.
The eight items
1. Deal type and parties, so the design can reflect the transaction. Share names only if you are cleared to disclose them.
2. Material: acrylic embedment, optical crystal, metal, or a combination.
3. Size: a height or footprint, or a desk-piece or wall-piece description.
4. Quantity. Piece cost falls with volume because set-up costs are shared.
5. Required date, counted back from the closing dinner or event.
6. Delivery destination, which sets freight, duties and transit time.
7. Artwork: logos in vector form where available, plus any text for each side.
8. Who approves the design, so the proof reaches the right person.
What you should receive back
A written quotation with unit prices, one-time tooling or set-up costs, delivery and lead time. At Crystal Century the piece is made in our own factory in China, so the quotation comes from the maker. You can send a competitor's written quotation on the same specification and we will beat it: see the lowest price guarantee on our home page.
