Separate the purposes of pattern, development, sales and pre-production samples; Plan the revision, cost and approval process correctly.
Sample type determines expected decision
A fit sample checks size and silhouette; a development sample checks materials and workmanship; a pre-production sample confirms the complete standard for bulk production. Expecting a sample to answer questions outside its purpose creates rework.
Factors affecting cost and time
Special fabric or accessory sourcing, new pattern development, hand crafting and repeat revisions change the sample scope. Mass production price and sample cost may not be based on the same operating assumption.
- New or existing pattern
- Original or representative material
- Special accessory preparation
- Number of revisions and scope of changes
- sample cargo
