TPU Elastic Non-Woven Quotation: How to Request and Compare Quotes
Getting accurate TPU elastic non-woven quotations — what information to provide, how to evaluate quotes, and negotiation strategies
Requesting a quotation seems straightforward, but the quality of the quote depends on the information you provide. TPU elastic non-woven quotation accuracy requires clear specifications and understanding of your application.
Here's how to get the most accurate and competitive quotes.
Information Needed for Accurate Quotes
To provide an accurate quotation, we need:
| Specification | Why It Matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| GSM (basis weight) | Primary cost driver | 30 g/m² |
| Width | Affects slitting and yield | 1.6 meters |
| Roll length/diameter | Affects packaging and shipping | 2,000 meters per roll |
| Performance requirements | Determines TPU grade | MVTR >10,000 g/m²/24h |
| Application | May require certifications | Medical device component |
| Annual volume | Affects pricing tier | 10,000 kg/year |
| Delivery location | Shipping cost calculation | FOB Shanghai or DDP |
Quote Components to Review
A complete quotation should include:
- Unit price: Per kg or per square meter — make sure you're comparing like-for-like
- MOQ: Minimum order quantity for quoted price
- Tooling/setup fees: Any one-time charges for custom specifications
- Sampling costs: Cost of pre-production samples
- Lead time: Production and delivery timeline
- Payment terms: Deposit, balance, letter of credit, etc.
- Validity: How long the quote remains valid (important in volatile raw material markets)
Quote comparison tip: The lowest unit price isn't always the best deal. Factor in quality consistency, technical support, and supply reliability. A slightly higher price from a reliable supplier often costs less in the long run than disruptions from a cheaper but inconsistent source.
