Bottom line: a distributor information pack should let the distributor promote and quote independently. It needs a product catalog, technical data sheets, safety data sheets, compliance documents, image assets, packaging specifications, MOQ and pricing rules. If any item is missing, the distributor has to ask the factory repeatedly and loses speed.
What the pack should include
| Category | Content | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | Grades, parameters, applications, formats | Selection and quoting |
| Technical | TDS and print recommendations | Technical support |
| Compliance | SDS, certificates and declarations | Customs and customer review |
| Visual assets | Product, packaging and application images | Local marketing |
| Commercial | MOQ, lead time, pricing rules | Quotation |
| Localization | Editable copy and label templates | Market adaptation |
