Sampling

Before production we obtain pre-production samples directly from the factory: one to you and one for reference with us. Each side checks material, workmanship, fit and colours in hand, not just from photos.

During production we also pull samples from the line so deviations show up early. The full quantity is produced only after your approval.

3D sampling makes cut, colour and placement visible before the first physical sample and can shorten coordination rounds. A 3D model does not replace a sample in hand. We send you a sample before the series, so you can see and feel the product with your own hands before you buy. Samples and their shipping are charged; we tell you the cost in advance and credit the sample cost in full against the production order.

We work with several sampling stages: proto, fit and pre-production samples, with more rounds if needed. During production our team is at the factory and follows the samples and the production on site.

A tech pack or clear product specification is the shared basis for manufacturer, customer and quality inspection. It records material, measurements, size grading, workmanship, colour, finishing, labels and packaging. A reference article, sketch and clear requirements can start the process if no tech pack exists.

If you do not have a tech pack yet, we create it with you from your idea, a sketch or a reference article. We also vectorise logos and embroidery motifs for it, and on request our team develops the design with you. This is included in the unit price and costs nothing extra.

The manufacturer turns this information into a pre-production sample. Deviations and requested changes are documented so the next round does not start from zero. Written sample approval makes the approved item the reference for series production.

Approval covers more than appearance. Depending on the article, you and we check fit, measurements, fabric feel and weight, seams, colours, printing or embroidery, trims, labels and packaging. Anything that misses the target is corrected before series production.

A production sample from the active line then shows whether the approved requirements are being reproduced consistently. Before loading, our own team then runs the final check of the finished goods on site.
