Next, we will briefly describe the names of different stages of the samples, as well as the purpose or purpose of sample approval required by international merchants at different stages, in order to ultimately meet the customer’s requirements for various aspects of quality (including surface materials, dimensions, trial fit, etc.).
1. Sample name: Initial sample (made according to the customer’s original sample or design drawing TECH PACK)
Purpose:
1) Confirm the style as the main focus.
2) Other items may have been confirmed simultaneously, such as fabric, size spec, workmanship, shape, etc.
2. Modify the sample (according to the original sample) Remake Sample
Purpose:
Other modifications may have been made simultaneously, such as fabric, size, workmanship, finishing effect (washing), shape, etc.
3. Approval pre production sample (i.e. general representative of production)/pre production sample
1) Make sure that all the ready-made clothes are made exactly as they were when they were put into production.
2) When making large quantities, production is based on this.
4. Sample (advertising sample, photo sample, sales sample, sales sample…)
All production is equivalent to mass production, and it is used as a representative to promote and win orders from buyers.
5. Fitting sample:
Specially made for trying on clothing sizes to confirm fit well or not or a specific part size.
6. Mock up simulation sample (saliva shoulder):
Specially redo a certain part of the clothing for customer confirmation: workmanship, craftsmanship, size, shape, structure, color combination, etc. To strive for completion in a short time without having to redo the entire garment.
7. Full Size/Jump Size Set Sample
1) Make one piece for all sizes to confirm with the customer
2) Make one piece every other size to confirm the size for the customer.
8. Shipment Sample:
The ship sample represents the quality of the bulk cargo and requires approval of the bow sample before the cargo can be shipped.
9. Top Sample:
Generally, American customers require more of this, and they need to conduct a trial sale in the market as soon as possible to see the market reaction before the bulk goods arrive.
