FAQ
Common Buyer Questions
Can I approve samples before mass production?
Yes. For custom, OEM, hotel, restaurant or wholesale orders, sample approval can be arranged before bulk production. The sample scope depends on product complexity, timing and order quantity.
Do I need a full product sample for every order?
Not always. Some orders may only need material swatches or a packing sample, while new designs or project mock-ups may need a full product sample for size, comfort and structure confirmation.
Can packing details be approved too?
Yes. Carton, protection method, shipping mark, labels, SKU notes and private label packing can be reviewed before mass packing, especially for export and project orders.
