Request Quotes

For larger orders or orders with custom finishing, your Corporate Shop offers a quote system. Customers can use it to request a non-binding quote before placing an order.

When is a quote useful?

The quote system is ideal for:

  • Bulk Orders - An individual quote is worthwhile from a certain quantity
  • Custom Finishing - When customers want to apply their own logo or design
  • Special Conditions - For regular or extensive orders
  • Budget Planning - When a binding quote is required in advance

Request a Quote - Step by Step

Step 1: Select Products

  1. Browse the product catalog as usual
  2. Select products with desired variants (color, size)
  3. Instead of Add to Cart, select Request Quote

Step 2: Configure Finishing

If desired, you can specify the finishing for your quote:

  • Select Finishing Type (e.g., screen printing, digital printing, embroidery)
  • Determine Placement (e.g., left chest, back, sleeve)
  • Upload Motif/Artwork - Upload your logo or design as a file
  • Special Requests - Free text field for additional information

Tip: The more precise your information, the faster you will receive a suitable quote. Upload high-resolution files if possible (preferably vector graphics in SVG or AI format).

Step 3: Contact Details and Submit

  1. Review the summary of your quote request
  2. Enter your contact details (if not logged in)
  3. Optionally add notes
  4. Click on Request Quote

What happens after the request?

  1. Confirmation - You will receive an email confirming receipt of your request
  2. Review - The softwear.prints team will review your request and create a quote
  3. Receive Quote - You will receive the quote via email with detailed prices
  4. Acceptance or Rejection - You can accept the quote and the order will be triggered
