Could you confirm whether your 200\u2013300 unit minimum applies per style, per color, or per order?\n\nTarget price: Our preliminary target for the gown is approximately USD 130 - 140 FOB per unit in bulk production, subject to fabric, construction, and order quantity.\n\nTimeline: We can plan around a project cycle of at least five months. Please let us know your estimated timing for development, sampling, and bulk production.\n\nI understand you would like to assess the project before discussing an NDA.
