What is the price difference between sample and bulk orders of jackets & shirts?

Sample versus bulk pricing

Samples are one-off development pieces, so their unit cost is higher than bulk production. A sample involves pattern development, decoration or wash setup and a small run, while bulk pricing spreads those costs across the full order quantity. Comparing sample price with bulk price directly is therefore not meaningful.

We quote the sampling fee separately and confirm it before development starts. The number of included revision rounds depends on the style and is confirmed in the sampling quotation, so expectations are clear on both sides. Once you approve the sample, we quote the bulk unit price for your order quantity.

If your bulk order qualifies in size, the sample fee can be credited after the bulk order is placed, with the exact terms confirmed in your quotation. Many brands treat the sample fee as a development cost and focus on the bulk unit price and total landed cost when comparing suppliers.

Send your design and planned quantity and we will quote sampling and bulk pricing separately and clearly.
