NO COMPLETE TECH PACK?

We Can Still Review Your Idea

A complete tech pack is helpful, but it is not always required at the beginning. You can send reference photos, sketches, similar products, fabric direction, size range, or early design ideas.

We will review what you have and help identify missing details such as fabric weight, measurements, construction, trims, logo placement, labels, and finishing requirements.

WHAT TO SEND US

What We Need Before Making Your Sample

You do not need to prepare everything perfectly before contacting us. Send what you already have, and we will help review what still needs to be confirmed.

01

Reference Photos or Sketches

Share product images, drawings, mood boards, or similar styles to explain your design direction.

02

Fabric Direction

Tell us your target fabric weight, hand feel, stretch, structure, season, or price range.

03

Size Chart & Fit

Send your size range, measurements, target fit, or reference garment dimensions.

04

Artwork & Branding

Send logo files, print placement, embroidery artwork, labels, hang tags, or packaging ideas.

WHAT WE CONFIRM

Key Details Confirmed During Sampling

A sample is not just a preview garment. It helps confirm the details that affect bulk production quality, consistency, and final appearance.

  • Fabric weight, structure, stretch, and hand feel
  • Fit, size range, and garment measurements
  • Stitching, construction, seams, and finishing
  • Print, embroidery, logo placement, and artwork size
  • Labels, trims, closures, drawcords, buttons, and zippers
  • Washing, ironing, folding, packaging, and final presentation

SAMPLE REVISION

What If the First Sample Needs Changes?

After the first sample is finished, we can review the fit, measurements, fabric, construction, artwork placement, trims, labels, and finishing details with you.

If changes are needed, we can adjust the sample based on the confirmed revision details before moving into bulk production.

APPROVED SAMPLE

How Does the Sample Connect to Bulk Production?

Once the sample is approved, it becomes the reference standard for bulk production. We use the confirmed sample to guide cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery, finishing, quality checking, labeling, packaging, and shipment preparation.
