SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT
PHASES YOU NEED TO KNOW
Proto Sample
The proto sample serves as the pivotal point where your design concept transcends from mere sketches to a tangible, three-dimensional manifestation. It is the very first physical representation of your creative vision, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in response to your specific design directives.
2nd Proto Sample
Upon reviewing the first set of proto samples, you enter the next phase with your swim or apparel manufacturer. Here, you assess your range and potentially refine or eliminate specific designs before proceeding to production. The necessity of this stage depends on the outcomes of the initial proto samples.
Fit Sample
These samples are used to assess how your garment fits on a model. This process allows you, as a designer, to visualise how your styles will appear to your customers and provide tangible feedback. It's crucial that the fit sample is constructed using the actual fabric intended for the specific swimwear style, facilitating accurate measurement and evaluation.
SMS [Salesman Sample]:
This set of samples goes by various names, but they all signify the same thing: the ultimate, comprehensive sample set. These samples precisely represent what your bulk production pieces will entail. They feature the correct fabric, as well as all the accessories and trims specific to each style. Often utilised for marketing, artwork, and brand-approved materials, these samples serve as the definitive reference.
PPS [Pre-Production Sample]:
The PPS serves as the final sample before your swim or bikini manufacturer embarks on mass production of your styles. It marks the last stage of approval before production. Acceptance of this sample gives your manufacturer the green light to initiate the actual production process in the agreed-upon quantities. In some cases, swimwear manufacturers go a step further and include a ship sample.
SHS Sample [Shipment Sample]:
The SHS sample is an exact replica of what a customer will receive, complete with the product in its packaging, including tags, cards, folding, and more. This ensures that you have a precise understanding of what the customer experiences when your product arrives at their doorstep.
