Form selection drives packing and price
Stainless RFQs that only say “304 plate” without form clarity create quote noise. Coil, sheet, and plate use different packing, handling, and processing paths.
Quick selection logic
- Coil — continuous processing, slitting, large repeating programs
- Sheet — fixed cut sizes for fabrication cells
- Plate — thicker structural or equipment plate with No.1 finishes common
What to confirm before quotation
Grade/standard, thickness range, width/length or coil weight, finish, edge, packing, destination port, and MTC EN 10204 3.1. Align form to the real processing path to avoid re-handling cost.
