Yes. After reviewing the first sample, fabric handfeel, decoration method, fit, measurements, pocket details, and trims can be adjusted before bulk approval. Changed requirements may affect cost or lead time.

Confirm the approved sample, final quotation, size and color breakdown, artwork files, packing requirements, delivery date, and payment terms. Production starts after order confirmation and material readiness.

Send your product category, target quantity, fabric or performance requirements, size range, artwork or tech pack if available, and expected delivery timeline. If you do not have a complete tech pack, a reference photo and clear notes are enough to begin a first review.

Yes. Forthright can review sketches, reference samples, or buyer notes and help turn them into a sampling brief. For ODM projects, the team can suggest construction, fabric, and finishing options based on the target use and budget.

The team checks product feasibility, quantity, fabric needs, decoration methods, and timeline. After the basic requirements are clear, Forthright prepares the next step, which may be a quotation, sample plan, fabric confirmation, or technical questions.

No. Samples can be arranged before bulk confirmation so you can review fit, construction, fabric, and workmanship. Some sample fees may be refundable against qualifying bulk orders according to the sample policy.

Yes. Bulk orders can include multiple colors and sizes if the quantity and production plan are practical. Share your size ratio and color breakdown early so the quotation and production schedule reflect the real order structure.

Typical physical sample development takes about 7-10 days after requirements, materials, and artwork are clear. More complex styles, special trims, custom fabrics, or new pattern development may require additional time.

Standard bulk production is usually planned around 30-45 days after sample approval, order confirmation, and material readiness. Final timing depends on style complexity, quantity, fabric availability, decoration, and packing requirements.

Forthright can support up to 200,000 pieces per month, subject to product type, complexity, order mix, and line availability. This is a planning reference rather than a guaranteed allocation for every order.

MOQ is 100 pieces per style and color.

Urgent orders can be reviewed case by case. The team will check material availability, current production load, style complexity, and inspection requirements before confirming whether an accelerated schedule is realistic.

Quality control covers material review, cutting checks, sewing and workmanship checks, in-process inspection, final inspection, packing review, and shipment preparation. The exact checkpoints can be adjusted to the product and buyer requirements.

Yes. Final inspection can be aligned with common AQL expectations when required by the buyer. Inspection level, defect classification, and reporting format should be confirmed before bulk production begins.

Yes. Buyers can request production photos, sample review photos, packing photos, and inspection updates. Clear reporting expectations should be shared early so the production team can prepare the right checkpoints.

Fabric, color, and trims are checked before production according to approved samples or buyer confirmation. For color-sensitive orders, lab dips, bulk fabric approval, or reference standards should be confirmed before cutting.

The issue is reviewed, classified, and corrected where possible before shipment. Depending on the case, the team may arrange rework, replacement, additional inspection, or buyer confirmation before goods are released.

Proto samples are usually charged according to style complexity. Simple tops, pants, and skirts may be lower cost, while outerwear, complex construction, embroidery, printing, or special techniques may require a higher sample fee.

Some proto or modification sample fees may be refundable against qualifying bulk orders, commonly when bulk quantity reaches the required threshold. The final refund condition should be confirmed for each order.

The first modification can be free when it is part of normal development or correction. Additional modifications caused by changed buyer requirements may be charged similarly to proto samples.

A PP sample is a pre-production sample used to confirm construction, workmanship, trims, decoration, and packing details before bulk production proceeds. It helps align buyer approval and factory execution.

Salesman samples and photo samples are usually priced based on bulk price or a multiple of bulk price depending on whether bulk materials are available. Exact cost is confirmed per order and sample type.
