Better quote requests
Ask production questions up front while leaving the final price to your team.
Separate size, quantity, color, stock, and finishing fields expose omissions before estimating.
Customers attach artwork, dielines, references, or mailing files to the same submission.
Conditional questions reveal product-specific details only when they apply.
Made for print shops
Use the stocks, finishes, and services your shop offers.
Brochures, postcards, flyers, business cards, and booklets with separate size, page, stock, color, and finishing fields.
Dimensions, substrates, outdoor use, finishing, delivery, site access, and installation requirements in one intake.
Garment styles, colors, size breakdowns, decoration locations, ink counts, artwork, and in-hand dates.
Multiple versions, recipient lists, addressing, kitting, delivery splits, and deadline details shown only when selected.
Quote intake workflow
Build around production decisions, publish on your site, and route submissions to an estimator.
List what you print, which specifications affect price, and which services need follow-up questions.
Use your real stocks and finishes, require essentials, and conditionally reveal installation or mailing questions.
Embed the form or share its link, then notify the estimator of each request.
Check files, clarify specifications, and move complete requests into estimating without promising an automatic price.
Intake options
Guided choices give customers a usable starting point and reveal where clarification is needed.
Field guide
These six groups cover what most shops need before choosing a production path and price.
Customer & context
Collect the requester, organization, contact details, and intended use. Context helps your team interpret durability, packaging, and delivery needs.
Size & construction
Ask for dimensions with units, orientation, page count, and whether sizes are finished or flat. Separate cover and text specifications for bound pieces.
Quantity & versions
When a job has several designs, languages, locations, or garment sizes, gather both the total and its breakdown by version.
Color, stock & finish
List options your shop supplies: colors, stocks, coating, folding, binding, drilling, cutting, or mounting. Include an unsure choice for customers needing guidance.
Artwork & data
Ask whether artwork is print-ready or needs help. Uploads let estimators inspect dimensions, bleed, color, image quality, dielines, and variable data.
Deadline & delivery
Collect the required in-hand date. Reveal addresses and access details conditionally for delivery, freight, installation, or split shipments.

A printing quote form is a website intake for a proposed print job. It collects customer details, product, dimensions, quantity, stock, colors, finishing, artwork, deadline, and delivery before your team prepares a quote.
Ask for customer details, product, use, finished and flat sizes, quantity, versions, pages, sides, colors, material, finishing, artwork, in-hand date, and delivery. Add conditional questions for booklets, apparel, signage, installation, mailing, or variable data.
Yes. Accept artwork, dielines, logos, mailing data, references, or site photos. Ask whether files are print-ready or need prepress help, and have an estimator inspect every file.
Yes. Conditional logic can show binding fields for booklets, garment and ink-location fields for apparel, or substrate and installation fields for signage after the customer chooses a product.
No automatic price is promised. An estimator can review artwork, production method, materials, waste, finishing, freight, and schedule. For services with defined pricing rules, explore the related quote calculator tool.
Yes. Makeform includes unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect quote requests without a form or response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Publish the form, link it from a Request a Quote button, or embed it on your site. Explain when your team reviews requests and how customers should send unusually large files.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox and can route to email, Slack, Google Sheets, or apps through Zapier. Keep artwork, specifications, notes, and the quote identifier together for revisions.
Turn inquiries into structured print requests.
