MOQ & Lead Time

Active Forge Lab offers sample development for buyers who want to check product quality, size, material, branding, and finishing before placing a bulk order.

Samples are especially useful for custom products, private label products, new designs, and products made for resale.

Why Samples Are Important

A sample helps confirm important product details before bulk production.

  • Product quality
  • Material feel
  • Size and fitting
  • Logo placement
  • Printing quality
  • Embroidery quality
  • Stitching
  • Labels and tags
  • Packaging style
  • Overall finishing

What We Need for Sample Development

To prepare a sample, buyers should share clear product details.

  • Product reference
  • Logo file
  • Required size
  • Material requirement
  • Color requirement
  • Branding details
  • Packaging details
  • Quantity estimate
  • Delivery country

Sample Cost and Time

Sample cost and sample time depend on the product and customization level. Some samples are simple to prepare, while others may need special material sourcing, logo setup, pattern work, packaging preparation, or multiple production steps.

Sample Approval

After the sample is ready, the buyer can review it and request reasonable changes before bulk production. Bulk production should only start after the final sample or final order details are approved.

Important Note

Custom and handmade products may have small differences between sample and bulk production. However, our team works to keep quality, sizing, branding, and finishing as consistent as possible.
