The 12 Fields Every Brief Needs

Brand name, contact, market, target capacity, fragrance type, bottle shape or reference, cap material, decoration, quantity, timeline, budget range and compliance needs.

Reference Images and Mood Boards

Share photos of bottles you like and a mood board for colour and finish. Visuals prevent mismatched expectations better than words alone.

Capacity, Fragrance, Decoration, Quantity

State the ml, whether the formula is alcohol-based, the coating or printing you want, and the run size. These drive mold and MOQ decisions.

Common Brief Gaps That Cause Delays

A missing neck finish, unclear cap material or no target quantity force follow-up rounds. Complete briefs move to sampling in days, not weeks.
