How to prepare a technical foam inquiry - a checklist

The most common reason for slow quotes is not slow sales - it is an inquiry that doesn't show what is actually needed. This checklist covers everything we need.

Essential - no quote without it

• Purpose: what the end product is and how it is used (seat, mattress, acoustic lining…).
• Dimensions: length × width × height in mm, per piece.
• Quantity: number of pieces, and whether it is a one-off order or recurring (weekly, monthly…).

Material - one of two routes

• If you have a specification: foam type, density (kg/m³), hardness (kPa or N, with method), colour.
• If you don't: describe the feel and function ("soft like an armchair backrest", "must survive a 40 kg machine in transit") - selecting the grade is then our job.

Additional - when it matters

• Tolerances only for functionally critical dimensions (why).
• Flammability standards if the product ships to markets that require them.
• A drawing for contour parts: PDF, DWG or DXF.
• Delivery deadline and delivery location.
• Whether you need a sample before ordering.

What you get back

To a complete inquiry we respond with a specific grade from the range (or a custom formulation for larger series), a per-piece price and a lead time. If something is missing - we ask first, then quote.

The inquiry form walks through all the steps above and accepts attachments up to 10 MB.
