RFQ Template

Plastics & Resins RFQ Template

Running an RFQ for plastics & resins without a category-tuned template usually ends in three suppliers answering three different questions. This page gives you a template built specifically for plastics & resins, so every quote lands on the same grid and comparison is trivial.

Resin prices track oil and petrochemical feedstocks, but molded parts add tooling, cycle time and cavitation on top. That's why the template pre-loads the fields buyers most often forget — and forces suppliers to answer them.

Tooling amortization keeps getting recharged after it's fully paid, and regrind is silently priced as virgin resin. SourcingHub's AI generates the RFQ document, sends it, and — when quotes come back — normalizes them into a side-by-side comparison automatically.

Fields every Plastics & Resins rfq template should cover

  • Resin grade (PE, PP, PET, ABS…) and additives
  • Part weight, cycle time and cavitation
  • Tooling ownership and amortization
  • Regrind / recycled content policy
  • Feedstock index (Platts, IHS)
  • Colorant and packaging costs

Frequently asked

Can I customize this Plastics & Resins RFQ template?

Yes. The generator uses this template as a starting point and adapts every field to your scope, geography and volume. You edit any question before sending, and reuse the RFQ across future plastics & resins events.

How many suppliers should I include in a Plastics & Resins RFQ?

For plastics & resins, 3–5 shortlisted suppliers is the sweet spot: enough to create real price tension without spending weeks normalizing outlier bids.

How is this different from an RFI or an RFP?

An RFQ locks the specification and asks for price on identical scope. An RFI gathers capability data; an RFP asks suppliers to propose their own approach. Use an RFQ once you know exactly what you need.

Do the suppliers see each other's answers?

No. Each supplier receives a private link and only sees their own quote. When quotes come back, SourcingHub is where you compare them side by side.
