Globalsourcing_step1How Do We Initiate Contact?

Let us know what you want. Do you have a photo? A product drawing? Product specifications that you’d like to share? We love details, and the more information you provide, the easier it is for our Project Managers and Suppliers to ensure we provide you with the most accurate information. By sending HBI’s Team (sales@hbint.biz) an email or direct message through our social media platforms, we will use your product drawings and photo images to collaborate with our suppliers to see what our capabilities are to produce your specific product. Typically, we offer two options, stock products options and custom options. Depending on the information provided, you may be offered one or the other to suit your packaging needs.

Do You Have a Physical Sample That You Can Provide Us? We’ll Take It!

Many of our current customers work to ensure the accuracy of a project by providing physical samples to HBI’s Team and our Suppliers. Being able to touch, measure, and calculate a product’s details provides factual accuracy. Whether you’re opting for stock products or a custom option, having the physical sample allows us to accurately determine raw materials, production timeline, and product specifications catering to your project’s needs.

Now What? A Request for Quotation [RFQ]:

Of course, along with product drawings and photographs, other details and information are beneficial to our Team and suppliers during this process. While you may not be able to check the boxes on each of the following details, our Team is happy and here to help guide and assist you in acquiring the answers you need.

We want to make sure that specific details about your product allow us to provide you with the most accurate quote possible with the inclusion of the following quantitative information:

  • Project timeline
  • Anticipated (annual or order) quantity that you’re looking to order?
  • Type(s) of raw materials
  • Technical requirements
  • Part descriptions
  • Quality requirements
  • Testing requirements
    • Specific certifications that need to be included?
  • Terms and conditions
  • Engineering tolerances
  • Expected deliverables
  • Packaging & shipping requirements

Each project is unique and may require more or less information than what is listed above. Our Team is committed to efficient and transparent communication from start to finish. Our job is to maintain uniformity amongst you, our customers, HBI’s Team, and our Suppliers to provide honest and hard-working relationships from the concept of your project through to completion.
