Samples decide whether a product is right. Tooling decides whether it can be made at all. Both are where overseas buyers lose the most time from a distance.
What it covers
- Sample briefs written from your drawings, reference photos, or a competitor unit.
- Sample rounds coordinated, with the differences between rounds documented.
- Mould and tooling quotes reviewed for scope: cavities, steel, expected life, modification policy.
- Tooling progress tracked with photos at each stage, and T1 sample review before mass production.
- Sign-off samples kept on file as the physical reference for inspection.
What you receive
Sample and tooling status you can act on: what was made, what changed, what it costs, what is still open.
When this matters most
Whenever a custom part, custom mould, or custom colour is involved — and always before a tooling payment is released.
