Sampling
Sampling is a vital part of any bulk manufacturing process. At SialApparel, our experienced team collaborates closely with you to review the details of your tech pack before production.
With fast turnaround times and expert craftsmanship, we help you present the best version of your designs, building confidence before moving to mass production.
Based on the information you provide, we will offer an expense list for your project, including the sample price and estimated bulk production costs.
To proceed with the project, we will require you to pay the sample fee after accepting our initial quotation.
Upon receiving the sample fee, we will work closely with you to finalize all production details before production.
We will discuss and confirm any incomplete aspects of the original tech pack and provide solutions for any design elements that are not feasible.
Sample production generally involves the following steps: fabric sourcing, pattern making, cutting, printing, sewing, and washing (if required).
The exact sample production time varies based on the complexity of the product. Typically, choosing our pre-made patterns from the library can shorten the sample production timeline, but if your design includes washing techniques, the sample process will likely take longer.
After your samples are made, our product development team will check the samples for consistency and to ensure they are good to go.
Then, we will proceed with ironing and packaging.
Before shipping, we will take photos of the samples for your confirmation.
For sample shipping, we default to using DHL to ensure timely and safe delivery.
