Samples are the first real test of a supplier. A vague request often leads to the wrong swatches and lost time.
What to include in a sample request
- Garment type and target customer
- Fabric type, composition and GSM range
- Width needed
- Colour or print, with Pantone or a physical reference
- Finish: dyed, printed, RFD or a value added effect
- Target price per metre and expected order quantity
Header swatches vs yardage
Small swatches are fine for checking handle and colour. Ask for a few metres of yardage when you need to make a fit sample.
After you receive samples
- Wash test the fabric as your customer would
- Make a garment sample before approving
- Write down any changes clearly
