From Concept to
Approved Sample.
We work with brands and product development companies to assess manufacturing feasibility, confirm materials and structure, and build samples that match your design intent. Here is how the process works.
Start a Development ConversationDesign & Reference Materials
The more detail you share, the faster we can assess.
Technical Drawings
Dimensioned drawings in PDF, DWG, AI, or similar formats. Include key measurements, material callouts, and any structural notes.
Reference Photos & Samples
Photos of existing products, competitor references, or physical samples you can send. Visual references help us understand finish quality and construction.
Material & Color Preferences
Preferred materials, fabric types, hardware finishes, or color codes (Pantone, RAL, or reference swatches). Share target cost if available.
Packaging Requirements
Retail packaging design, box dimensions, labeling needs, or Amazon FNSKU requirements. Include any drop-test or certification requirements.
Target Quantity & Timeline
Estimated sample quantity and bulk order volume. Your target production start date helps us plan feasibility and capacity.
Questions & Open Points
Any structural concerns, alternative material questions, or aspects of the design you are unsure about. We review everything before giving feedback.
Feasibility & Material Assessment
Once we receive your materials, we review the design for manufacturing feasibility. This covers structural integrity, material compatibility, dimensions, and production process suitability. We will come back to you with our assessment and any questions before proceeding.
Important Note
Whether a project can proceed to sampling and production is determined by the design review and mutual confirmation. We do not begin sampling until feasibility is agreed and the project scope is confirmed by both parties.
What We Assess
- Dimensions & tolerances
- Material availability & sourcing
- Joinery & structural connections
- Surface finish compatibility
- Packaging fit & protection
- Regulatory or certification needs
Sampling, Feedback & Revisions
Sample Brief Confirmation
After feasibility is agreed, we confirm the sample scope: materials, dimensions, finish, and any specific construction requirements. This becomes the reference for the first sample build.
First Sample Production
We build the first sample according to the confirmed brief. Typical production time is 16-20 working days, excluding shipping. Actual time depends on complexity and material availability.
Sample Delivery & Review
The sample is shipped to you for review. Shipping method and cost are confirmed separately. You review the sample against your design intent and compile feedback.
Feedback & Revision Rounds
You send structured feedback covering dimensions, materials, finish, and construction. Revision scope, cost, and timeline are confirmed before work begins on the revised sample.
Sample Sign-Off
Once the sample meets your requirements, you formally approve it. The approved sample becomes the production standard for bulk manufacturing.
Lead Time, Cost & Shipping
Sampling Lead Time
16–20
Working Days
Excluding shipping time
This is the typical production time for a first sample. Actual time depends on design complexity, material sourcing, and current workload. Timeline is confirmed per project.
Sample Cost
Sample fees vary by product complexity, materials, and quantity.
Revision costs depend on the scope of changes and are confirmed before each revision round.
Sample costs may be credited against bulk order payment -- this is confirmed per project.
A formal cost breakdown is provided after feasibility is agreed.
Sample Shipping
Express courier
DHL, FedEx, or UPS -- typically 3-7 days. Recommended for most sample shipments.
Freight
Available for larger or heavier samples. Transit time varies by destination.
Cost arrangement
Shipping costs are confirmed per shipment. Prepaid or collect options available on request.
All timelines and costs are indicative. Lead times, sample fees, revision costs, and shipping arrangements are confirmed per project after design review. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Sample Confirmation & Production Handoff
From Approved Sample to Bulk Order
Once you approve the sample, it becomes the confirmed production standard. All bulk units are manufactured to match the approved sample in materials, dimensions, finish, and construction. Any subsequent changes require a new confirmation round.
Sample Approval
You confirm in writing that the sample meets your requirements. The approved sample is retained as the production reference.
Final Specification Lock
All product specs, packaging, labeling, and order details are finalised and confirmed by both parties.
Order Confirmation
Quantity, price, production lead time, trade terms, and payment schedule are agreed. A formal order or purchase agreement is issued.
Bulk Production
Production begins after order confirmation and initial payment. Typical bulk lead time is 25-35 days, confirmed per order.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Quality is checked against the approved sample before shipment. Third-party inspection can be arranged on request.
Bulk Production Lead Time
25–35
Working Days
After order confirmation & initial payment
Actual lead time depends on order volume, product complexity, and production scheduling. Confirmed per order.
