A buyer sourcing private label pet treats may ask for one product in a 100 g retail pouch and a 500 g pouch. Even with the same core formula, the two offers may not be comparable unless the production and packaging assumptions are written down. A useful pet treat OEM quotation needs more than a single price per pack.
1. Hold the product specification constant
Identify one product or SKU, its full ingredients, primary animal protein, piece dimensions, texture, relevant quality requirements and approved reference sample. Ask the sourcing partner to price the same agreed formula for each proposed retail size. If a different recipe, treatment or piece size is necessary for a particular format, request a separate quotation rather than calling the two offers equivalent.
2. Separate product volume from retail-pack count
The number of bags is not the same as the quantity of finished product. For illustration, 1,000 bags × 100 g represent 100 kg, while 1,000 bags × 500 g represent 500 kg. Each format therefore places a different demand on production even before packaging cost is considered.
HEYUAN PET’s standard planning reference is 200 kg per individual SKU; quantities of different SKUs cannot be combined to meet that minimum. Actual feasibility, product-specific production batch size and minimum custom-packaging print runs require separate written confirmation. Do not assume a packaging order quantity is the same as a production MOQ.
3. Ask for the same quotation tiers for both formats
For each pack size, request pricing at the same clearly stated quantity tiers—or the nearest feasible quantities proposed by the supplier. A useful comparison identifies the pack count, net product weight, total kilograms, packaging specification and price basis in every tier. If one tier falls below a production or packaging minimum, it should be marked not feasible / subject to confirmation, not assigned a made-up price.
4. Make packaging assumptions visible
A 100 g pouch and a 500 g pouch may use different bag dimensions, materials, labels, carton configurations and packing labour. State whether the offer assumes plain pouches with labels or custom printed bags, who provides approved artwork, and whether printing setup costs or surplus packaging are charged separately. Confirm pack tolerances, carton counts and approved label language for the destination market.
5. Compare the commercial scope, not just the bag price
Ask the supplier to identify what the FOB Qingdao quotation includes: finished goods, retail packaging, master cartons, agreed testing and inspection, export documents, export clearance and origin-side handling. Obtain written confirmation for any product-specific certificates or treatment; their availability should never be presumed. Ocean freight, insurance and destination import charges are not automatically included in FOB prices.
A sample schedule and bulk production schedule must also be tied to the approved formula, packaging artwork and confirmed order quantity. For general planning, HEYUAN PET references approximately 10 days for samples and 30–40 days for bulk production, subject to specifications and scheduling—not guaranteed shipment dates.
A short request buyers can send
Please quote the same confirmed pet treat formula in 100 g and 500 g retail packs. For each format, show feasible quantity tiers, total kg, product MOQ, packaging MOQ, packaging type, FOB Qingdao scope, sample and production timing, and the quality/export documents available for our destination market. Identify any assumptions or items still pending confirmation.
