Know which contract packaging leads are worth capability review time
Ask every buyer what type of product needs packaging, which services they need, and their monthly unit volume — then collect spec sheets and photos before your team ever quotes a run your line can't take.
The exact intake your contract packaging leads complete
This is the real 8-question guided intake for Contract Packaging — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified contract packaging lead should tell you
Outsourced packaging work — filling, labeling, kitting, or cartoning a client's product at a third-party facility — where the intake needs to confirm product type, service scope, volume, and whether the buyer can actually approve a vendor before your line is quoted.
- Product Packaging
- Packaging Services
- Estimated Monthly Unit Volume

The questions your team needs answered
Every contract packaging intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of product needs packaging? | Product type determines which regulatory and line-compatibility checks — food-grade, cosmetic, or industrial — your team needs to run before quoting. |
| What packaging services do you need? | Each selected service carries its own weight, so a lead needing filling, labeling, kitting, and cartoning outscores one needing just labeling. |
| What is your estimated monthly unit volume for packaging? | Volume determines which of your lines can actually take the job, since a 100,000-unit run and a 1,000-unit run need different capacity. |
| Do you already have finished packaging materials and specifications ready? | A yes means your team can quote right away, while a no signals pre-production scoping time is needed before any run can be scheduled. |
| Are you authorized to approve a contract packaging vendor for this project? | Confirms whether the person submitting the form can actually sign off on a vendor, so a capability review isn't spent pitching a non-decision-maker. |
| When do you need contract packaging services to begin? | Separates buyers who need packaging running immediately from those still exploring options months out. |
| Does this project require any special handling, such as temperature control or hazardous materials? | Flags hazardous or temperature-controlled products early so your team can confirm certifications before booking a review. |
| What is your target location or region for the packaging facility? | Captures the target region so the lead can be routed to the facility that actually serves that geography. |

Built for contract packaging workflows
| Cliont capability | Contract Packaging application |
|---|---|
| Weighted multi-select scoring | Scores a lead higher when it needs multiple services — filling/sealing plus cartoning, for example — than a lead requesting just one service. |
| Conditional branching | Surfaces the special handling question only where relevant, so temperature or hazmat needs get flagged before the lead is routed to a line. |
| Decision-maker flagging | Uses the vendor-approval question to tag whether the submitter can sign off, so a capability review isn't wasted on someone without purchasing authority. |
| Free-text field routing | Sends the target facility region straight into CRM fields so leads land with the team or line closest to that geography. |
| File upload capture | Collects spec sheets and packaging artwork upfront so your team isn't quoting a run before materials and specifications actually exist. |
Common contract packaging lead scenarios
Startup running a small first batch
Under 1,000 units with services marked 'not sure' still scores as a value signal, but a 'just exploring' timeline tells your team to nurture it rather than book a capability review right away.
Established brand scaling production
Over 100,000 units, filling/sealing plus cartoning selected, an immediate start date, and confirmed approval authority stack up to a high-priority lead ready for a review.
Product needing special handling
A yes on temperature control or hazardous materials flags the lead for a compliance check before it's matched to a line, separate from standard consumer goods runs.
Procurement contact without sign-off
When the vendor-approval question comes back no, the full intake still captures product type and volume so the details are ready once a decision-maker gets involved.
Buyer with no finished specs yet
A no on materials and specifications signals pre-production scoping is needed first, which is a different conversation than a lead that's ready to quote today.

Contract Packaging lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle buyers who don't have finished packaging specs yet?
The materials-and-specifications question flags these leads separately, so your team knows to scope design work before offering a capability review instead of quoting blind.
Does a small order volume get treated as low priority?
Not automatically. Under 1,000 units is flagged as a value signal alongside high-volume runs, since a small first order can still represent a strategic new account worth pursuing.
What happens if the person submitting the form can't approve a vendor?
The authorization question lowers the lead's weight when the answer is no, which helps your team avoid spending capability review time on someone who can't actually sign off.
Can the intake catch hazardous or temperature-controlled products before we schedule a review?
Yes — the special handling question flags these upfront so your team can confirm certifications and facility capability before booking time on the line.
How does the intake score a buyer who wants filling, labeling, and cartoning all at once?
Each selected service in the multi-choice question carries its own weight, so a lead requesting several services scores higher than one asking for a single service like labeling.
Does the intake capture where the buyer wants the packaging facility located?
Yes, a free-text field captures the target region, which helps route the lead to the facility or line that actually serves that geography.
