Prototyping & The Sample Process
Q: Can I see a sample before committing to a mass production order?
A: Yes, we highly recommend it. For all custom designs (OEM/ODM), our engineering team follows a systematic prototyping phase. We translate your drawings into a physical sample for your evaluation. This allows you to test the functionality, material feel, and aesthetic appeal.
Once you approve the sample, it serves as the “Golden Standard” for our 100% pre-shipment inspection, ensuring that the final mass-produced goods perfectly match the approved prototype.
