SAMPLING SERVICES

Sampling is an essential step in minimizing errors and refining designs before large-scale production begins.

Prototype Sampling

Early-stage sampling gives you a physical reference to your design. This phase allows for changes and refinements before full-scale production. To begin, we require either a sample garment or a complete tech pack.

Sales Samples

Sales samples help you present your product line to buyers without committing to a large inventory. These are ideal for pre-orders, trade shows, and buyer presentations.

Pre-Production Samples

Final samples represent the production-ready garment in all sizes and specifications. Before moving forward, this step is crucial to confirm fabric, fit, construction, and finishing details.
