- Closure type and sample closure details.
| Checklist item | Send this detail |
|---|---|
| Drink | Product type, temperature, carbonation, foaming notes |
| Container | Glass, PET or can; size range; samples if available |
| Closure | Cap, crown, ROPP, plastic closure or seam detail |
| Output | Target containers per hour and batch size |
| Automation | Semi-automatic, automatic or unsure |
| Line scope | Filler only, filling cell or complete line |
| Utilities | Power, air, CO₂, water and drainage |
| Site | Room size, access, floor and hygiene requirements |
- Target output and shift length.
- Electrical supply, compressed air and CO₂ availability.
- Available floor space and access restrictions.
- Existing equipment to integrate with.
- New equipment required before and after filling.

FAQs
Common questions.
Can I ask for a quote without knowing every detail?
Yes. Send what you know and mark unknown items clearly; the supplier can help fill gaps.
Should I send bottle, can or closure samples?
Samples are very useful because they reduce assumptions around handling, filling and closure.
Is target output enough for a quote?
No. Output matters, but the product, container and closure are just as important for carbonated filling.
