A maioria dos orçamentos de tecido lentos e confusos tem a mesma causa: o pedido omitiu algo de que a tecelagem precisa para orçamentar o trabalho. Um pedido rigoroso modelo de RFQ de tecido resolve isso. Envie os doze campos abaixo e receberá números comparáveis em dias, em vez de uma semana de e-mails de acompanhamento, quer esteja a orçar tweed, bouclé ou programas de malha.

The twelve fields
One: fabric type and construction, named precisely – boucle, cable knit, double-cloth tweed – with a reference photo attached. Two: composition, with percentages, because a wool-rich blend and a wool-look acrylic price a world apart. Three: weight in GSM, measured not estimated; if you are unsure, name the garment it is for. Four: usable width. Five: colour, as a Pantone reference or a physical lab dip you already hold. Six: finish requirements, from anti-pilling to water repellency.
Seven: quantity, split into sampling quantity and production quantity, because the two price differently. Eight: target price if you have one, and the basis – per metre FOB, CIF, or DDP. Nine: test requirements, citing the methods you need, since colourfastness and fibre analysis follow métodos de teste AATCC na maioria dos manuais de compradores. Dez: expectativas de prazo para amostra e produção. Onze: requisitos de conformidade, por exemplo certificado de âmbito GRS ou classe OEKO-TEX. Doze: destino de envio e incoterms, para que o orçamento inclua a realidade do frete em vez de uma suposição.
Porque cada campo justifica o seu lugar
The fields that slow quotes down most are weight, colour and quantity. A mill cannot quote a knit without knowing whether you mean a 300 GSM cardigan fabric or a 550 GSM coat fabric, and the difference is not linear. Colour given as “camel-ish” invites a conservative price with a buffer. Quantities that move between the first email and the third restart the pricing exercise entirely. Twelve fields feel like homework until you compare the response times: a complete RFQ comes back priced in days, and our own fluxo de produção personalizado converte consultas completas em amostras de 7 dias exatamente por esta razão.
A worked example
Take the same boucle asked for two ways. Version one: “Please quote your nice cream boucle, around 400 grams, for a jacket program.” The mill assumes a wool-nylon blend at a stock weight, quotes a safe number, and three emails later you are still agreeing on width. Version two: “Boucle, 62% wool / 36% nylon / 2% other, 420 GSM at 150 cm usable, Pantone 12-0605 TCX lab dip to match, anti-pilling finish, sample 20 metres then 800 metres production, FOB Ningbo, colourfastness to AATCC methods, sample in 15 days.” One email, one quotation, one sample round. The second version is not longer because the writer is thorough; it is longer because the twelve fields give every detail a slot.

Consolidar o modelo
A template only works if it survives the reply-all chaos of a real sourcing inbox. Save it as a form with one field per line, attach it to every new enquiry, and refuse to forward quotes internally until the twelve lines are filled. Teams that enforce this report the same side effect: half the questions they used to ask suppliers get answered by their own form, because writing “weight: measured” forces someone to actually measure. The template also becomes your onboarding document – a new sourcing hire who can fill all twelve fields knows what matters in a fabric specification.
Erros comuns que o modelo evita
The most expensive mistake is asking for “something like this photo” with no composition. The mill assumes a construction, quotes it, and the sample arrives heavy or limp. The second is skipping test requirements, which surfaces at the buyer’s third-party inspection as a surprise failure. The third is mixing incoterms across quotes, which makes a higher unit price look cheaper once freight lands on your account. Compare quotes on identical terms, and our checklist on comparar orçamentos de fornecedores para além do preço mostra a grelha de comparação completa.
