What to send in the first RFQ

Product direction

Share the product category, target skin feel, use case, formula references, ingredients to include or avoid, and whether this is a ready formula, adjusted formula, or custom route.

Packaging route

Send bottle, tube, jar, pump, label, carton, set box, logo artwork status, color preference, capacity, and any sample packaging reference.

Market and documents

Tell GUOCUI the destination market, sales channel, label language, document needs, and whether a local importer, Responsible Person, or compliance partner is already appointed.

How GUOCUI should respond

GUOCUI should answer with a clear sample route, realistic MOQ and quotation variables, packaging proof steps, document checklist, and next action. The response should avoid exaggerated efficacy claims, fake certifications, fixed prices without specifications, or generic factory self-praise.

FAQ

What should I send before asking for samples?

Send product type, target country, sales channel, formula direction, packaging reference, quantity range, artwork status, and sample deadline.

Can GUOCUI support private label and custom logo projects?

Yes. GUOCUI can review private label, OEM, ODM, and custom logo skincare projects after the product and packaging direction is clear.

Can GUOCUI quote from only a photo?

A photo is useful for direction, but quotation depends on formula, package, quantity, label, carton, and destination market.
