What information should I include with an RFQ?

Prepare a clearer nameplate or label RFQ with the current drawing, artwork, quantities, application details, revision, and approval contact. This answer is written for purchasing and engineering teams comparing custom identification options. If your application raises a related question, our team can review the details with you.

A useful RFQ gives U.S. Nameplate enough controlled information to understand the part, the application, and the decisions that still need to be made. Include the current drawing or artwork, expected quantities, the intended use, and any known material, attachment, environmental, or delivery requirements. Unknown items can be identified as open questions instead of guessed.

Build one controlled quotation package

The goal is to keep geometry, graphics, data, and purchasing requirements tied to the same revision. A clear package helps the review distinguish supplied requirements from items that still need customer direction.

  • Current drawing, artwork, specification, or physical reference, with revision identifiers.
  • Part purpose, available space, orientation, and any attachment or receiving-surface information.
  • Fixed graphics plus any changing serial, model, asset, barcode, or rating data.
  • Expected order quantity, number of versions, requested delivery date, and destination.
  • The person authorized to answer questions and approve a proof, sample, or revision.

For projects that do not fit a standard description, start with the available sources and open decisions on the Custom Manufacturing Solutions page.
