Have a brief? Send it.
Tell us the product, a rough quantity and whether it carries your brand. We reply within 1 business day, with questions or a quote.
The approved sample is the reference for production. The order is made against it, so you and the factory are looking at the same thing when the run is checked before packing.
If you bring an idea rather than finished artwork, the first piece is a prototype. We turn your brief into a design and make a prototype for you to check, and changes are simplest at that point. The route is described on design and development.
Use the enquiry form with the sample request ticked. Name the product, a rough quantity band and whether it carries your brand.
Your written quote states the sample plan and the sample price, with the price, the minimum order and the lead time for the full run.
It is made in our own factory, the same place the full run is made.
Check it against your brief and approve it. Approving in writing keeps the approved sample as the single reference.
Payment is 50% advance. The order is made against the approved sample, packed to your plan and shipped EXW Noida.

You do not need all of it to begin. The more of it you send, the closer the first sample will be.
Check the sample on the real material, because a screen never shows the finish. Compare size and colour with your artwork, look at the back and the hanging fittings, and open the pack the way your customer will.
Keep the approved sample, the written specification and the artwork file together. Give the same set for every repeat order. The nine problems brands meet with a factory, and what to ask about each, are on problems we solve.
