Procurement matrix
A faster first decision comes from making constraints visible: format, fill volume, quantity path, use case, document needs and what must be reviewed before price.
Review factory capability, certificate references, cleanroom context, quality process and document readiness before sharing sensitive project details.
ReviewPrepare format, fill volume, quantity, launch market, timeline, NDA or formula status, file links and quality document needs.

ReviewRFQ preparation
A price request becomes useful when the supplier can see what is fixed, what needs review and which commercial use case the pilot must prove.
Submit RFQ briefBuyer FAQ
No. You can start from the commercial problem, such as serum sample packaging, skincare trial kit packaging, GWP samples, travel-size skincare packaging, plastic ampoules for serum or glass ampoule alternatives. Steridose Labs can map the project to BFS ampoules, applicators, kit pack-out or another route after the brief is reviewed.
Single-dose projects are strongest when the liquid benefits from a cleaner one-use story, controlled dose, premium trial experience, easier ecommerce handling, travel use, creator seeding, GWP insertion or professional channel handoff. High-active formulas such as VC, PDRN, peptides, hyaluronic acid and repair-positioned serums often deserve this review.
Standard commercial pilot production usually starts from 10,000+ units. A 5,000-unit review may be possible when formula readiness, format, channel plan, launch use case, document needs and expected scale-up path are already clear.
A useful RFQ includes format, fill volume, target quantity, launch market, timeline, formula or NDA status, current packaging, use case, secondary packaging plan, required documents and any reference file links.
