Run a practical trial
Use the proposed product in the actual table, service, wash, storage or distribution process. Record what happened rather than whether a reviewer simply “liked” it. Include the whole item, close details and a scale in photos. Link every observation to the sample code.
Acceptance note
The approval note should name approved artwork file, the decision owner and any allowed variation. If a change is made later, issue a new revision instead of modifying the old record informally.
Commercial brief
For pricing, provide sales channel, piece mix and pack quantity, box or bulk format, artwork and label requirements and carton and shipping constraints. This reduces the risk created by designing the box before confirming the product.
Turn this guide into a supplier brief
Send the product code, quantity, destination and the decision factors that matter most. Tongxing can use them to prepare a sample and quotation discussion.
