A physical review pack for fabric hand-feel, colour, closure, packaging and private-label decisions.
For first-time buyers, the sample path starts with swatches and colour cards. Full product samples are quoted after the target SKU, size and packaging path are clear.
| Swatch card | 19, 22 and 25 momme silk references, subject to current stock |
|---|---|
| Colour card | Standing shade card for pillowcases and sheet sets |
| Closures | Envelope, hidden zip, button placket and tie references |
| Packaging | Dust bag, belly band, retail box and private-label notes |
| Sample credit | Credited against the first qualifying bulk PO in the same category |
Compare 19, 22 and 25 momme references so merchandising, pricing and customer expectations are aligned before a quote.
Use the standing colour card to choose stock shades or decide whether custom dye and lab dip work is worth the MOQ.
Review envelope, hidden zip, button placket and tie examples against the target channel: boutique, hospitality or private label.
Confirm whether the first PO should stay simple with a sleeve or move into dust bags, retail boxes and buyer labels.
| Stage | Purpose | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| Swatch kit | Material, colour, closure and packaging review. | Ships after trade account approval |
| Finished product sample | Confirm size, construction, label placement and packaging. | 2-4 weeks, depending on category |
| Pre-production sample | Required for custom dye, embroidery, print or private-label packaging. | 3-5 weeks after artwork/spec lock |
| Sealed reference sample | Used by buyer and workshop as the physical benchmark for QC. | Held through bulk production |
The sample kit is a decision tool, not a promise that every fabric or colour is always in stock. Current availability is confirmed again when the quote is prepared.
