Sample development
Samples that answer the right questions
A sample is useful when it tests the product, the packaging direction, the target market and the details that production must follow.
Sample paths
Sample and freight terms are confirmed before work starts. A sample is not a substitute for required testing.
| Path | Typical timing | Use it to check |
|---|---|---|
| Stock sample | 3–7 working days | Play action, size, color and basic packing |
| Color / packaging sample | 7–12 working days | Brand color, language, warnings, hangtag |
| New development sample | 12–20 working days | New construction, accessories or mold direction |
Approve in writing
Record the approved product, color, accessories, artwork, warnings and open changes before bulk production. Unwritten comments do not enter the specification.
