An effective magnetic travel set RFQ should identify the exact model or product type, destination market, estimated quantity, preferred tin box and branding route, sample needs, target schedule and shipping destination. Ask suppliers to separate product, customization, packing and logistics assumptions. Also request applicable documents by model and destination market so quotes can be compared on the same basis.
“Please send your best price” leaves important quotation variables undefined. Magnetic Travel Sets can differ in piece assortment, tin artwork, inserts, labels, carton packing and document applicability. A structured request for quotation helps the buyer and sourcing partner work from the same assumptions.
Why vague inquiries produce vague quotations
Without an exact model, destination market or packaging route, the response may be a general reference rather than a comparable offer. This becomes especially important when a buyer is considering several themes, mixed models or private-label changes.
The eight details to include in a magnetic Travel Set RFQ
- Buyer and sales channel: ecommerce, independent retail, gift shops, museum retail or distribution.
- Destination market: country or region where the toy will be sold.
- Product reference: model ID, product URL or clear image.
- Estimated quantity: estimate per model and whether mixed themes are considered.
- Branding route: existing packaging, logo label, printed insert or custom tin artwork.
- Sample requirement: standard or customized sample.
- Desired schedule: intended launch or delivery window without assuming an unconfirmed lead time.
- Delivery location: destination city, country and postal code for logistics discussion.
RFQ parameter checklist
| RFQ field | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product reference | Model ID, URL or reference image | Prevents quoting the wrong set |
| Destination market | Country or region | Guides labeling and document checks |
| Quantity | Estimate by model | Allows MOQ and packing confirmation |
| Tin packaging | Existing artwork, label or custom print | Separates customization routes |
| Product contents | Required piece mix or theme | Defines the quoted configuration |
| Sample | Standard or customized sample | Clarifies the approval route |
| Shipping destination | City, country and postal code | Supports logistics discussion |
| Documents | Ask by model and market | Prevents blanket compliance assumptions |
Separate an existing model from a custom project
Existing product and packaging
Identify the model and ask for its current packing, order requirements, sample availability and applicable documents.
Logo label or printed insert
Provide the desired label size, logo file, barcode information, language and insert concept.
Custom tin artwork or product combination
Explain the intended theme, artwork scope and desired component changes. Treat this as a development route rather than assuming it uses the same requirements as an existing model.
New product development
A genuinely new concept needs a separate project brief covering the target user, play idea, form factor, packaging and market. See our custom development routes.
How to request compliance document information
Avoid asking only, “Do you have CE or CPC?” A more useful question is: “Please confirm which supporting documents are applicable to this exact model for [destination market], and whether proposed product or packaging changes affect the document review.”
Documents available for selected/applicable models and verified by model and destination market.
How to compare quotations on the same basis
Confirm that each response covers the same model, contents, tin packaging, labels or inserts, carton configuration, sample route, document assumptions and delivery basis. A lower number may reflect a different configuration rather than a better like-for-like offer.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a final quantity before requesting a quote?
No. Provide a realistic estimate or range and identify whether it is per model or for the total assortment. Final requirements must still be confirmed.
Can I ask for several themes in one RFQ?
Yes. List each model separately and ask whether assortment or mixed-model arrangements are available for those exact products.
Should I include a target price?
It can help explain the intended market position, but it should not replace specifications. State the currency, expected configuration and delivery basis.
Can one quotation cover standard and private-label packaging?
Ask for the routes separately so added artwork, labels, inserts or packaging changes are visible.
Does a quotation confirm compliance?
No. Ask which documents apply to the exact model and destination market. Product or packaging changes may require additional review.
