RFQ Template

Print & Promo RFQ Template

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

Printed collateral and promotional items live outside marketing spend controls — long tail, many vendors, minimal governance. That's why the template pre-loads the fields buyers most often forget — and forces suppliers to answer them.

Setup fees rebilled every reorder and rush charges over 30% erode marketing budget quietly. 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 Print & Promo rfq template should cover

  • SKU catalog and annual quantities
  • Substrate, size and finishing options
  • Setup, plates and minimum-order costs
  • Warehousing and fulfillment terms
  • Rush and reprint policy
  • Sustainability certifications (FSC, recycled)

Frequently asked

Can I customize this Print & Promo 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 print & promo events.

How many suppliers should I include in a Print & Promo RFQ?

For print & promo, 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.
