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
- Browse the product catalog as usual
- Select products with desired variants (color, size)
- 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
- Review the summary of your quote request
- Enter your contact details (if not logged in)
- Optionally add notes
- Click on Request Quote
What happens after the request?
- Confirmation - You will receive an email confirming receipt of your request
- Review - The softwear.prints team will review your request and create a quote
- Receive Quote - You will receive the quote via email with detailed prices
- Acceptance or Rejection - You can accept the quote and the order will be triggered
