Acrylic gift packagingStyle selection & sample request

A gift-box inquiry starts with the right reference.

We shared colour and style references with a buyer in India, who requested individual samples ahead of a possible 250–300-piece order.

FROM A WEBSITE INQUIRY

Colour was the beginning.
The sample was the next decision.

In September 2024, a buyer in India contacted us about acrylic gift boxes. We shared photographs of several styles and colours in our first reply and explained that custom requirements could also be discussed.

The buyer then sent preferred references and mentioned a possible order of around 250 boxes, later describing the requirement as around 300 pieces. Both numbers belonged to the inquiry stage.

MAKING THE CHOICE CONCRETE

From a broad category to individual styles.

CLEAR / STYLE REFERENCEClear acrylic gift box containing example small gift items.
The clear box reference we shared, with example contents. Contents are illustrative and were not specified as part of the order.
COLOURED / STYLE REFERENCERed translucent gift box with assorted example gift contents.
Another supplied style reference. Product brands shown in the contents do not indicate a direct commission from those brands.

We returned a style-by-style quotation and described stock availability, mixed-colour ordering and individual protective packaging. A separate round style in the quote was described as 15 cm in diameter and 9 cm high. Those dimensions applied to that option, rather than every box in the photographs.

When the buyer asked for a sample, we checked which pictured styles were wanted. The buyer requested one of each and asked to continue the discussion by phone and WhatsApp.

28 SEPTEMBER / LAST EMAIL IN THIS THREAD

A sample request, ready for a more detailed brief.

The final email said that a WhatsApp message had been sent and requested samples urgently before a possible bulk order. The email archive does not include the subsequent WhatsApp exchange or prove that the samples were sent.

For a gift-packaging project, reference photographs help establish the direction. Exact internal dimensions, lid format, colour and sample selection still need to be agreed before committing to the batch.
