Video transcript

1. 0:00Choosing a rigid box supplier isn't choosing a box.
2. 0:05Ask who you're dealing with: manufacturer, partial maker or broker. Not knowing is the risk. Send every candidate the same one-page brief.
3. 0:16Audit capability, not the catalog: which steps are in-house, a live walkthrough of wrapping and assembly, and photos of the wrap's back and inside corners.
4. 0:27Use one scope list for every quote; a blank line means excluded. Define how MOQ is counted and when lead time starts. Cartons and pallets count too.
5. 0:38Test replies while quoting, then contract it: verifiable documents, milestone payments, written remedies. And watch for red flags.
6. 0:50Name the approved golden sample as your quality reference.
7. 0:55Send product, quantity band, ship-to and date for a written quote.
