Fabric Inquiry Template: What To Send A Supplier For A Faster, Better Quote
A simple structure buyers can use when contacting a fabric supplier: fabric type, quantity, width, GSM, finish, country, sample need and target date.
Why Most Fabric Inquiries Are Too Thin
A message that says only 'send price' makes it difficult for a serious supplier to respond accurately.
A strong inquiry gives enough context to recommend the right running quality or identify a development route.
The Template
Send fabric type, garment application, required meters, monthly volume if any, width, GSM target, finish stage, color route, country, target date and sample requirement.
If you have a reference, attach photos or mention the closest AERA TEX fabric page.

This saves time for both buyer and supplier.

Common Questions
Can I ask for a quote without exact GSM?
Yes, but share the application and reference sample or photo so the supplier can suggest options.
Why share country in the first inquiry?
Country helps with export context, timeline, courier discussion and documentation planning.
