What Does “From 500 Pieces” Mean?
The available size, material, printing and construction need to be confirmed for your order. Do not assume that 500 pieces can be divided across several sizes, colors or artworks and still qualify for the same minimum. List the split and ask us to confirm the minimum for each specification.
Six Details That Make a Quote Useful
1. Product and intended use
Name the catalogue model or link to the product page. Explain what goes inside and how you pack it. If you are deciding between a plain mailer and a cushioned format, describe the contents and protection needs. Our mailer selection guide can help you frame that question.
2. Dimensions, with units and measurement notes
Write dimensions in mm or cm and identify width, height, gusset and flap where relevant. Say whether the figures describe the outside of the bag, the usable space or the packed contents. If you only know the packed item size, send that rather than guessing a bag size. A catalogue dimension is a reference to confirm, not a fit guarantee.
3. Quantity for each size and design
Separate the quantity for each version. “500 pieces, one size, one design” is different from “250 pieces of each of two designs.” If you want price comparisons, request alternative quantities using the same specification so the quotations can be compared.
4. Material, closure and printing requirements
Describe any required thickness, paper weight, closure, finish or print sides. If these are not decided, explain the job the packaging must do. Send the logo or an artwork preview and tell us whether an editable file is available. Ask for the applicable print template, safe area, bleed and color requirements before preparing final production artwork.
For food contact or environmental requirements, identify the exact intended use and destination market. Ask for documents for the proposed material and construction; a product name, image or generic claim is not enough to confirm suitability.
5. Sample route
Tell us whether you want an existing product sample to review construction, or a custom printed sample to assess your artwork and specification. Samples are free; confirm availability, preparation, artwork or setup arrangements and courier charges. Free samples do not automatically include free delivery.
6. Destination and arrival deadline
Include the country and postcode or port, plus any required arrival date. Ask for production and transport estimates separately. Typically about 15–20 days after payment. Confirm the production start milestone in your quotation; shipping time is additional. Freight, duties and taxes should be identified in the quotation rather than assumed to be included.
Example: A Clear 500-piece Mailer Enquiry
This is an illustrative brief, not a completed customer project or a confirmed specification:
We are comparing 500 poly mailers in one size and one artwork for folded clothing. The packed item measures 24 × 30 × 4 cm. Please recommend a suitable bag size and confirm usable space, material, closure and logo printing options. We have an editable AI logo and need a sample before confirming the bulk order. Delivery is to our stated country and postcode; please quote production and transport separately.
The packed measurements in this example are not a recommended bag size. In your own enquiry, replace them with your measurements and include your actual destination and timing.
