A press-on set is the nails plus whatever the customer is told to use: glue, adhesive tabs, file, wood stick, wipe, insert. If those items are unnamed, the quote is incomplete and the QC checklist has nothing to count. I coordinate set contents with the nail route. I do not run a glue factory.
Name the contents before the sample
Specify nails by shape, length, count and sizing system; adhesive path; prep items; paper insert, size map and warning language already used by the brand; and any spare-nail policy.
Quick comparison
| Content | Why it changes the quote | Lock before |
|---|---|---|
| Glue vs tabs | Chemistry, shipping limits and instructions | Sample two if the channel is undecided |
| File / stick | Easy to forget, visible in returns | First paid retail-kit sample |
| Insert language | Market and brand voice | Packaging sample |
| Extra nails | Changes count and card | Sizing-system decision |
Frequently asked questions
Can kits be sourced from a different plant than the nails?
Sometimes. Then the pack-out plan has to say who bags the kit. Split plants without a pack plan create missing pieces.
Will you advise which glue formula to sell in the US or EU?
No. I will help name the contents and keep them on the specification. Formula and market restrictions stay with the brand and its advisors.
