PCB Quote Online: What Information You Need Before Requesting a Price

Learn what data PCB manufacturers need for a fast and accurate online PCB quote, including Gerber files, stackup, quantity, finish, and assembly files.

An online PCB quote can be extremely fast if you send complete manufacturing data. The more complete your files are, the less time is wasted clarifying specifications.

What you should prepare

  • Gerber files
  • Drill file
  • Board dimensions
  • Layer count
  • Quantity
  • Thickness and copper weight
  • Surface finish

For PCBA quotes

You also need a BOM and pick-and-place file. Without those, assembly pricing is only a rough estimate.

Best practice

If speed matters, upload a ZIP file with all fabrication files in one package and clearly mention any special requirements such as impedance control or edge plating.
