01Confirm the sample purpose
Agree whether the sample is for pre-production, quality review, a sealed reference, testing, promotion or production. Make the decision and approval scope clear.
A quality-review sample becomes a bulk-production reference only when approved for that purpose.02Pack for the item
Match protection to the size and fragility of the sample. Identify small pieces clearly, protect documents separately and add edge or board protection where needed.
Confirm special handling before dispatch.03See what was sent
Sample photos and a packing list help you check what is arriving. A sample invoice or customs description is prepared where applicable.
Compare the received items with the dispatch record.04Track the shipment
After courier collection, the tracking number is shared and the dispatch record is retained. Review the sample against the purpose agreed at the start.
An approved sealed reference connects the sample review to production and final comparison.
