Sampling & Pre-Production Process

How to Order Samples Before Bulk Production

We provide physical pre-production samples before any bulk commitment. This is how our sampling process works — timelines, what you receive, approval steps and how we move from sample to production. MOQ 300 pcs applies to bulk only. Samples are available from your first inquiry.

Why sampling matters

Never commit to bulk without a physical sample

Regardless of how detailed your specification or how clear your tech pack, there are elements of a garment — fabric hand feel, colour accuracy under daylight, embroidery density, construction quality — that can only be properly assessed in person. Our sampling process protects you from bulk commitments that do not match your expectations.

Our commitment

We will not push you to skip samples or rush to bulk. A correctly approved sample is in both our interests. Our repeat buyer rate is built on starting every programme correctly.

The sampling process

Step-by-Step Sample Process

01

Submit your brief

Send your product specification — category, fabric, GSM, construction, colours (Pantone references preferred), decoration and any reference garments. We respond within 48 hours with questions and initial costing.

02

Costing & confirmation

We provide pricing for both samples and bulk within 48 hours of receiving your complete brief. Sample cost is confirmed. Payment of sample fee confirms the sample order.

03

Sample production

Pre-production samples: 7–12 working days from payment confirmation. Samples are produced in the exact fabric, colour and construction specified. Your private label applied if provided.

04

Sample dispatch

Samples dispatched by courier to your address. Typically DHL or FedEx with tracking. Delivery to UK, USA and EU: 3–5 working days.

05

Review & feedback

Review your samples against your specification. Provide written feedback — measurements, colour, construction, any amendments required. We respond within 48 hours with a revision plan.

06

Approval & bulk

Once samples are approved in writing, bulk production begins. Sample fee is credited against your first bulk order. Lead time: 30–50 days from bulk order confirmation and advance payment.

What to prepare

What to include in your sample request

Essential information

  • Product category and style (hoodie, t-shirt, polo etc.)
  • Fabric: composition and GSM
  • Colour: Pantone reference or swatch
  • Size to sample (we recommend your core size)
  • Fit: regular, oversized, slim etc.
  • Anticipated bulk quantity

Helpful but not required

  • Tech pack or garment spec sheet
  • Reference garment or brand whose fit you like
  • Logo/artwork files for decoration (AI, EPS or high-res PDF)
  • Label and hangtag artwork
  • Certification requirements (GOTS, GRS, SEDEX etc.)
  • Target delivery date for bulk

No tech pack? No problem.

If you do not have a formal tech pack, send us your design concept — images, reference garments, sketch or description. Our team will develop the specification with you during the sampling process. We work with established brands and new brands in exactly the same way.

FAQ

Sampling Questions

How much do samples cost?+
Sample costs are 2–5x the bulk unit price, depending on the complexity of the style and decoration. The sample cost is credited in full against your first bulk order once confirmed. We confirm exact sample pricing within 48 hours of receiving your brief.
How long do samples take?+
Pre-production samples: 7–12 working days from payment confirmation. This is production in the exact specification — not an off-the-shelf mock-up.
How many samples do I receive?+
Typically 1–3 pieces per style — sufficient for fit assessment, colour approval and construction review.
Can I order samples without committing to bulk?+
Yes. There is no obligation to place a bulk order after reviewing samples. If you decide not to proceed, the sample cost is not refunded but there is no other commitment.
What is the MOQ for bulk production?+
300 pieces per style, per colour. This applies after samples are approved and you decide to proceed to bulk.
Can I request samples in multiple colours?+
Yes — separate sample costs apply per colour. We recommend approving the first colour fully before sampling additional colourways.
What if my samples need amendments?+
We handle revision rounds as part of the normal sampling process — typically 1–2 rounds to approval. Each revision round takes 5–8 working days. We provide written feedback acknowledgement within 48 hours of receiving your comments.
