Offers an entire range of services that allow clients to make a variety of physical samples (First Samples) at our very own in-house sampling unit, based on design specifications either given by the client or created by our team of design experts. The clients get an exclusive access to our in-house library of fibers and fabrics of varying construction and weight, saving on project time. The clients then assess multiple product samples created from the shortlisted fabrics giving them a broad idea of the costs involved and that assist them to make an informed decision.

Once the First Samples are approved, our production experts comb through our extensive supplier database to match the client needs in terms of quality, minimum order quantities, lead times and accreditation requirements. The approved final partner is engaged for creating factory samples, zeroing in on the final costs and closing the logistical details. A Time and Action (T&A) plan is the end result of this pack that charts out the time lines and execution plan to meet the client’s targets in an effective manner. The T&A is made available to the client on SC Studio.
