“We need a custom mayonnaise flavour” is a starting point. A useful sourcing enquiry also explains how the product will be used, the volume you expect and the packaging it needs. Giving these details together helps establish whether the request fits a production route and what must be confirmed before a quotation can be prepared.

JINGSHANG supports mayonnaise sourcing and custom flavour enquiries. Flavour customisation is available for orders that meet the required production quantity. The minimum order quantity, recipe scope, packaging and development terms are confirmed against the individual brief.

Describe the intended use and flavour target

Start with the application: for example, a restaurant ingredient, a retail product or a sauce used in another prepared food. State whether you want a standard mayonnaise or a custom flavour. Describe the taste and texture you are aiming for, and identify what should be different from a reference product.

A benchmark name, photograph or specification can make the discussion more precise. If you have a reference sample, mention it in the enquiry and agree how it will be supplied. Sample arrangements and any development costs need to be discussed; they are not automatically included.

Give a quantity with a clear unit

A number without a unit is difficult to quote. Specify whether your expected quantity means kilograms, individual packs or cartons. Where relevant, distinguish the first planned order from a possible repeat requirement, and label estimates clearly.

Custom development requires sufficient production volume, but there is no single published minimum that applies to every recipe and pack format. Ask for the minimum quantity for your proposed specification rather than assuming a quantity mentioned for another product will apply.

Put packaging and product requirements in the same brief

State your preferred pack size and format, and whether the mayonnaise is intended for foodservice or retail. List your ingredient and allergen requirements, shelf-life target and storage requirements. If a point is undecided, say so; it can then be identified as a question to resolve rather than an assumed specification.

Include the destination country and target delivery date. These details allow destination requirements and timing to be considered alongside the product itself. A requested shelf life, packaging format or date remains a requirement to assess, not a capability or delivery commitment already confirmed.

Review the quotation against the agreed specification

JINGSHANG is a local sourcing and buyer-support team in Beihai. The process begins with your brief, followed by confirmation of production fit, minimum quantity, recipe scope, packaging, development terms and sample arrangements. Pricing is quoted in USD after the specification and quantity have been reviewed.

Check that the quotation describes the same product and packaging you requested. Clarify which costs are included, what remains open and which lead time applies to the agreed specification. Final production and payment terms are confirmed before an order proceeds.
