Practical answers before the first sample.

MOQ and pricing depend on the selected construction, material, colour breakdown, packaging and development work. Share the model and quantity band for a useful answer.

Define what the sample must validate: appearance, fit, construction, branding or performance. Sample timing is confirmed after the brief and materials are reviewed.

Any new tooling, ownership, storage and reuse terms should be agreed in the quotation before development begins.

Specify the destination market and required test method. Claims and documents are confirmed against the selected material and approved product.

Inspection points, acceptable tolerances and required documents should be aligned before production rather than assumed after shipment.

Timing varies by material, sample approvals, order size and production season. Share a flexible or target delivery date in the RFQ.

Payment terms, Incoterms, carton requirements and destination details are confirmed in the commercial quotation.

Tell the team when a project requires an NDA, restricted files or special handling of customer designs.

For repeat production or an issue review, include the previous PO or SKU, affected quantity, photos and the change or outcome requested.
