Most delays in a first private-label order come from an incomplete brief rather than from production. The more precisely you can describe the target, the faster the sample loop goes — and the fewer surprises appear at the packing stage.
What to include in the brief
- Target retail price and the price you can pay per unit at your likely volume.
- Product dimensions, weight, and the size range you want to offer.
- Materials you accept or want to avoid, and any colour references.
- Packaging format: poly bag, hanging card, blister, box — with sizing if you have it.
- Market and channel, since that shapes labelling and safety documentation.
- Artwork status: your logo files, or a request for our design support.
The sample round
Expect at least two sample rounds on a new design: the first confirms construction and materials, the second confirms colours, branding, and packing. Approve them in writing, and keep the approved sample — it becomes the reference for inspection during bulk production.
Quality checkpoints to agree up front
- Which defects are unacceptable (stitching, sharp edges, smell, colour variation).
- The inspection stage: material-in, in-process, or final packed cartons.
- How a problem is resolved if the bulk order and the approved sample differ.
