Seafood Packing, Glaze & Net Weight Questions

Seafood Packing, Glaze & Net Weight Questions

Clarify the weight and packing basis of a seafood quotation.

Separate the specification fields

Record product weight, any declared glazing information, pack weight and carton configuration as separate fields. Ask the supplier to state how each is measured.

Ask what the quoted weight represents

Ask whether the quoted quantity excludes glaze and packaging, and request the net weight specification in writing. Do not calculate a commercial yield from a vague label.

Request supporting packing information

Ask for a sample label or packing specification showing pack count, net weight and carton breakdown, where available.

Include your required basis

State the pack size, net weight and glazing requirements in the inquiry. Available formats are supplier-dependent and confirmed on quotation.

Prepare your quotation request

Choose reference products, use the specification checklist, then send your requirements. These are purchasing questions; the quotation and signed contract establish your order terms.
