About sample development

Samples are an integral part of the order generation period. First of all, it is the physical basis for signing the contract between the customer and the supplier. Only if the sample of the supplier is confirmed by the customer, it is possible to get the order. Secondly, he is the reference for the production of large goods. The execution of orders is based on the confirmed samples. It is difficult to confirm the difficulty of the samples and the process requirements directly to the difficulty and progress of production of large goods. In addition, the sample is also the benchmark for product inspections and claims after the order is completed.

Larger fabric manufacturers will capture fabric trends every season, and then design and develop. Sample development is part of the development of fabric products for new product development. After the sample is developed, it is usually offered to the customer by the merchandiser to win the order. This type of product development can be referred to as active development, while mercenaries play the role of promoting new products.

Another kind of sample development can be called passive development, that is, the manufacturer develops according to the development data provided by the customer, which is usually called snoring. Customers can provide development information in both language descriptions and customer samples. The language description is the customer's description of the fabrics he needs, such as the fabrics of the shirts in spring and summer, and the soft drape of the fabrics is required. The customer sample refers to the fabric samples provided by the customer.

Different types of sample development, the process and the need for the merchandiser to do the work are not the same.
