Project Details

Field	Detail
Contact	Aaron S.
Product	Food blocks (non-perishable)
Packaging	10×4 box
Insert needed	TBD (discussed but not confirmed)
Artwork status	~0% complete at time of call
Order type	One-off / single production run

Timeline

Production lead time: 4–6 weeks after order placement
Shipping time: Additional, on top of production
Factory shutdown: February 24 – March 1 (Chinese New Year / factory reopening window)
Any quote or order placed after the shutdown begins will be delayed until factories reopen

Key Blocker

The factory shutdown window (Feb 24–Mar 1) creates urgency: a quote must be delivered to Aaron before the shutdown to avoid a multi-week delay in the project timeline. Aaron's deadline was discussed but characterized as potentially flexible.

Call Notes

Parag confirmed this is a straight production run — no prototype phase recommended for this project type
Discussed whether a food-safe liner would be needed inside the box; Aaron confirmed the food blocks are non-perishable, so a standard liner is likely sufficient
Artwork is essentially at zero, which Parag noted as "perfect timing" — no artwork dependency blocks the quote
Aaron had previously submitted an inquiry; specs were on file and Parag located the email during the call

Action Items

[ ] Email Jason (Fathom) to resend specs for the 10×4 box so quote can be prepared (@Parag)
[ ] Deliver quote to Aaron before the Feb 24 factory shutdown (@Parag)
