- 6. Sample Sample is the reference garments corresponds to The artwork (styling) done by designer and/or developer Particular purchase order Any revision to the style work Conform with any specific requirement, etc.
- 7. Responsibilities of sample Section Sample department of apparel manufacturing industry has to maintain the below responsibilities: • Getting clarifications about style details from the merchandiser • Checking Pattern’s work-ability, • Preparation of different samples and getting the buyer’s approval, • Informing quality related problems, encountered during preparing samples to QC, • Minimizing operations and consumption.
- 8. Different types of samples Sampling process varies from buyer to buyer, and type of style as well, but in industry there is particular order of sampling is followed, the stages and purpose of sample may be same but terminology used may be different and it totally depend upon buyer.The typical samples name and Chronology are described as:
- 9. Sequence of sampling Proto sample/Development Sample/First Pattern Second (Proto/development/First pattern) Fit Sample Counter sample Salesman Sample (SMS) Ad / Photo sample Test Sample
- 10. Sequence of sampling Size set sample Approval Sample / mock-up Pre-production sample Top of production (TOP) sample Production Sample Sealed Sample (Red-Sealed/Yellow-Sealed) Shipping sample
- 11. Sequence of sampling (Proto Sample) Proto Sample /development sample/First Pattern: The first physical version of any garment as per the artwork done by designer and/or developer Normally, buyer send proto sample request to 2-3 factories. Proto sample is developed at very initial stage and normally order is confirmed to the factory based on proto sample only.
- 12. Proto Sample (development sample/First Pattern): Human mind Sketch paper pattern sample Purpose :To see the design work and test the fitting Status : Nothing specific Material : Available (If actual fabric is not available) Price : Not confirmed Quantity : 1 (for buyer)+ 1 (for self keeping) Delivery : As per urgency
- 13. Sequence of sampling(Second Proto Sample) Second Proto/development/First pattern: If buyer does not approve the proto sample, factory needs to submit the 2nd proto sample to get approval. Usually designer/developer always asks for some changes to the development/first pattern sample. Second pattern sample is made as per the comments on first pattern. Purpose : To be sure that that factory has understood well the changes designer wanted Material : Available Price : Not confirmed Quantity : 1 (for buyer)+ 1 (for self keeping)
- 14. Sequence of sampling(Fit Sample) Fit Sample Once proto get approved buyer asks to start working on fit sample. Fit sample is made and send to conform the fit of the garment on live models or on dummy and for approval of construction details. Purpose : Buyer want tot be sure that factory understands thoroughly the construction and quality details and standards Material : Available Price : Not confirmed Quantity : 1 (for buyer)+ 1 (for self keeping)
- 15. Sequence of sampling (Counter) Counter Sample: • Suppliers has to develop a sample given by the buyer Purpose :To see the WORKMANSHIP and test the FACTORY SKILL Status : Nothing specific Material : Available Price : Not confirmed Quantity : 1 (for buyer)+ 1 ( for self keeping) Delivery : As per urgency
- 16. Sequence of sampling(Salesman) Salesman Sample (SMS): Buyers held a meeting with its customer and record their response on order quantity per color and size. Order quantity may changed after sales meeting. The cost of sample production is given by buyer. Purpose : Sales meeting with retailers, market appraisal, order forecast, to collect the order from the retailers. Status : final stage of the order confirmation Material : Actual Price : Confirmed Quantity : Minimum 1 piece from each color Delivery : very important to meet the delivery date
- 17. Sequence of sampling (Ad/photo) Ad/Photo Sample: • In order to promote the new style in the market normally buyer asks for AD sample for photo shoot. • Buyer uses this photo for marketing purpose either on catalogue or various media like, print,TV or websites to see the response of the consumer. • This sample mainly sends in medium to large or sizes specified by buyer.
- 18. Sequence of sampling (Test Sample) Test Sample Some buyer called this sample GPT (Garment Performance Test) The main purpose of Test sample is to perform the physical and chemical testing on garment to ensure the performance of the garment. Test Samples are made of actual material The tests done on garments are: Shrinkage, Color Fastness, Seam performance etc. Normally,Test Sample is sent to 3rd party inspection and results are sent to both factory as well as buyer. If same style is having 3-4 different colours then only one color sample is tested completely and other colours samples are tested only with colour way test i.e. only colour fastness tests are conducted.
- 19. Sequence of sampling (Size Set) Size Set: The main purpose of size set sample is to check the factory's capability to make the sample in all sizes Consists one piece from each color and each size. If sizes are more in number then buyer may ask to skip some sizes, called jump size set sample. The samples can be made in the sample room or actual production floor, as required by the buyer. Purpose:To test fit of the garment in different size. Material: Actual Price : Confirmed Quantity : 1 set (for buyer)+ 1 set ( for self keeping)
- 20. Sequence of sampling(Approval / Mock up) Approval Sample: In any discrete period of time, whenever buyer revise any specification, a new sample is made (some time mock up is workable too) as per new specification. It is sent to the buyer for his approval to ensure that the revision is done correctly
- 21. Mock up sample: Mock up means not a total garment, it’s a fixed part of a garment. If any part contains fault, then buyers requires a fault free that parts to be confirmed that the supplier is capable and understood the requirement. Sequence of Sampling (Approval / Mock up)
- 22. Sequence of sampling (PP sample) Pre-production sample When all the items/material for bulk production arrived, factory makes a sample with the actual material and send it to buyer for approving the production. PP Sample is the standard for production and bulk production garments should be identical to PP sample. The factory can start the production of bulk garment only after the approval of preproduction sample. PP sample sends in only one size 1-2 samples or specified by buyer.
- 23. Sequence of sampling (TOP sample) Top of Production (TOP) Sample • The top of production is sent to the buyer as soon initial pieces are come out of sewing line • The purpose of TOP sample is to see that the factory producing right designed and right quality garment • The top of production is sent to the buyer as soon initial pieces are come out of sewing line
- 24. Sequence of sampling (Production) Production Sample: It is reference to the buyer that the bulk is being produced as per specification. Buyer want to be sure that the correct material is sourced and line workmanship conformed with the quality level All the above samples are made in sampling department. Buyer wants pre-production sample (PP sample) to be made in actual production line, so that operators know what they are going to make.This sample is made with actual fabric, trims and accessories and made by sewing line tailors.
- 25. Sequence of sampling-Sealed Sample (Red-Sealed/Yellow-Sealed) Different Buyer has different types of security seal which they attach with the garments after checking.This seal is given as an approval of styling, measurement, placement of printing and embroidery and confirmation of all stitching details.This sample has to be handled with care so that the seal is not broken.When the buying QC will come for inspecting the garments then they will ask for Sealed Sample and at that time if they find that the seal is tempered or broken then they may refuse to conduct the inspection as such it should be preserved with care and anybody handling this sample must understand the importance of this sample. • Fabric (Actual) • Accessories (All actual) • Printing (All actual) • Attachment of Value Added Items (Actual) • Washing (Actual with all affect of high/low, abrasion, hand feel, softness and drapability in acceptable quality) • Finishing and folding (As instructed by buyer) • Finishing accessories (As instructed by buyer) • Packing (As instructed by buyer)

Feedback from the buyer is 3 types i.e. accepted, rejected, and accepted with comments. The rejection of sample may be due to following reasons: • There could be one or more reasons for the sample rejection from buyer, these are: sample made out of tolerance, incorrect construction, fabric quality may not up to mark, incorrect packaging, incorrect size submission, frequent change in style and more.
