What information should I provide to start garment sample development?
What to prepare before sample development
To start garment sample development, send MinCharm the product information you currently have. A complete tech pack is helpful but not always required — depending on your project stage, we can also review a physical sample, reference images, sketches, measurement data, or other available specifications.
Information that helps us start
Tech & Specifications
- Tech pack or technical drawings
- Measurement sheet or size specifications
- Physical garment sample
- Reference images with notes on details to follow
Fabric & Color
- Preferred fabric composition, weight or GSM
- Fabric stretch, handfeel, surface finish, intended use
- Color references or Pantone numbers
Construction & Trims
- Zippers, buttons, ribbing, drawcords, other trims
- Logo artwork and printing or embroidery details
- Main, care, size labels and hangtags
Order & Timeline
- Estimated bulk order quantity
- Target sample or production timeline
How we proceed from your starting point
Complete tech pack
We review measurements, materials, construction, branding, and other technical requirements before sampling begins.
Physical sample
Reviewed as a reference for fit, measurements, construction, materials, and workmanship.
Reference images or initial idea
We identify the missing details that must be confirmed before the first sample is made.
You do not need every item listed above for the initial review. Clearer product information reduces assumptions, improves sampling accuracy, and helps avoid unnecessary revisions.
