      Different types of sample 

       The typical samples namely described as

          Design development sample: The first sample developed by the company based on the buyers requirement. The sample generally used to assess the look and take a decision on the sample whether to proceed or decline the particular style out of the line. The developed sample needs to be submitted within 45 days from the first communication.

            Proto sample: The first sample that is prepared after the order sheet is received from the buyer is called the proto sample. In this sample, this sample is prepared using accessories, similar to the order sheet and fabric. And after that this sample is sent to the buyer. After getting approval of this sample by buyer, the process of making fit sample starts. 

      Fit sample: Fit sample is made again after the proto sample approved. All the details of the order sheet sent by buyer to make the fit sample are taken into consideration and this sample is prepared by actual design, fabric and accessories. The garment construction and garment measurement is also taken care of in the fit sample. The fit sample is prepared and worn by the model within a given time, its fitting etc. is checked and sent to the buyer. After the fit sample is approved by the buyer, preparation is made to make the size set sample.

           Ad or photoshoot sample: The name of the sample clarifies it. For capturing a photo for the catalogue and e-commerce sites photo shoot samples are made, and the photo is taken on model or dress form.

           Salesman sample: Promotional samples are also called salesmen samples. The manufacturer uses genuine textiles and accessories to make this sample. It is a high quality sample. The retailer or buyer has to pay to get it.

          Pre-production sample: once the size set sample is approved by the buyer, the merchandising department hands over the order sheet and other information related to the garment to the production department. Now, before production starts here, some samples of the garment are prepared using genuine fabric and accessories and these samples are sent to the buyer in due time. Now if the buyer approves the sample, the production work is started. The samples that are sent to the buyer before the production starts are called pre-production samples. 

      GPT sample: The sample that is collected from the bulk production and send to a testing lab for garment performance test (GPT), are known as GPT sample. In GPT sample, garment performance tests like seam strength, seam slippage, button pulling strength, print quality, chemical tests of metals, and dyed and printed colors are done. List tests to be performed by the lab are defined in buyers protocol. Generally, buyers don't ask for GPT sample submission. They need the GPT test report on the desired test parameters for their product. The factory needs to send at least 2 pieces of GPT samples for production.

      Size set sample: Small, medium, large size, etc. samples are made under the size set sample. Size set samples are also prepared according to order sheet sent by buyer. When the size set samples are also approved by the buyer then the manufacturers proceed in the process of bulk fabric cutting. 

      Top of production sample: The sample that are sent to the buyer after the garment production starts are called the top of production sample. Not all buyers ask for this sample. But some buyers demand this sample to check the quality of the garment being produced. 

      Wash sample: Wash sample is made and submitted to the buyer for assessment of feel and handle of fabric after washing (if it is needed). Either at size set stage or PP stage, washing sample is sent to the buyer for approval. Based on the buyer comments, the merchandiser needs to continue the production.

      Shipment sample: The sample that are packaged and sent to the buyer after the production is completed and before shipment is sent are called shipment samples. This sample is packed and sent to the buyer according to the guidelines given in the order sheet.
