Sample Workflow
Steps before a sample is ready for approval
A good sample request should make the target product clear enough for pattern, fabric and branding review.
| Step | Buyer input | Supplier output |
|---|---|---|
| Brief review | Category, reference photos, target market, size range and quantity plan. | Recommended development route and missing detail list. |
| Material direction | Fabric handfeel, compression, opacity, stretch and color preference. | Fabric suggestion and availability check. |
| Branding setup | Logo artwork, label needs, hang tags, packaging and placement notes. | Sample branding plan and approval points. |
| Sample review | Fit comments, measurement changes, logo feedback and packing notes. | Revised standard before bulk production planning. |
Sample timing
Most sample development takes 7-15 days before buyer review, depending on fabric and pattern readiness.
Bulk next step
Bulk production usually takes 25-45 days after final sample, fabric, color and packaging approval.
