How sampling works
Four steps. Fourteen days.
01 · Brief & spec
Send us your dimensions, materials, finish reference (Pantone / hex / physical sample), and target unit price. We reply within 48 hours with a sampling quote and feasibility notes.
02 · CMF & tooling review
For custom colourways and finishes we produce a small colour lab — 3–5 anodized or dyed swatches on your material — before committing to a full production sample.
03 · Production-grade sample
Not a 3D print, not a stand-in. Samples are made on the same tooling and by the same operators who'll run your production batch. Typical turnaround: 10–14 days.
04 · Approve & scale
You sign off physically on the sample. Only then does production start. Sampling costs are credited against your first production invoice above 500 units.
What's included
A sample you can actually sell against.
Full production tooling — samples are made on the same line as your batch

Debossed / laser-etched branding on the sample itself
Photograph pack (5 studio shots per sample) for your line sheet
