Compare machine-only and machine-plus-mold RFQs so buyers can send the right scope before engineering quotation.
Machine-only works for replacement or known bottle routes; machine-plus-mold is safer when bottle acceptance depends on tooling and machine fit.
If tooling acceptance is uncertain, use machine-plus-mold RFQ first.
| Factor | Machine only | Machine + mold |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Existing bottle route or equipment replacement. | New bottle, new mold or uncertain acceptance route. |
| Required data | Bottle, output, space and downstream handoff. | Bottle, preform, mold cavity, sample and machine route. |
| Risk | Wrong model if bottle or mold assumptions are incomplete. | Higher scope but fewer compatibility surprises. |
| Buyer action | Send existing machine and line context. | Send drawing, sample, material, output and cavity target. |

It is safer when bottle shape, mold thickness, cavity count or sample acceptance are still uncertain.
