Sampling is an important stage in garment production as it allows manufacturers to test and evaluate the fit, design, and overall quality of a garment before mass-producing it. There are several types of garment samples, including:
- Fit samples: These are used to test the fit of the garment and make any necessary adjustments.
- Salesman samples: These are smaller-scale versions of the final product, used for sales and marketing purposes.
- Prototype samples: These are the first samples produced, used to test the design and construction of the garment.
- Pre-production samples: These are similar to prototype samples but are made closer to the final production process and often use production-level materials.
- Seal samples: These are final samples that are approved for mass production.
