ABOUT THIS SERVICE:
Our founder taps into her industry insider resource database to secure the best sample maker options for you in either a 2 or 3 Sample Maker Comparison Report. Please note: we only work with U.S. based manufacturers so all of our clients proudly produce "Made in the U.S.A." labels. This is one of the most important steps in the process because we are securing the factory who will produce your samples and eventually your bulk production, and who:
-
Is emerging fashion brand friendly and doesn't carry high minimums
-
Specializes in your product category (i.e. swimwear, athletic wear, men's running shorts, intimates, childrenswear, etc.)

STAY IN THE KNOW: We know you want production and sample costs at the same time so you can budget ahead of time, but that is not how it works. The sample maker cannot give you an accurate quote without first producing your samples. Once you approve your complete sample line, the sample maker can give you both an accurate sample quote for future sample lines and a production estimate. Since we want to help you budget, we will ask our sample makers to give you an estimated production quote when they are willing to provide it, and then we'll provide it to you as a bonus.
