            "content": "Hello,\n\nThank you for contacting us and for providing such a detailed overview of your new brands, ELIO and LIDO. It sounds like a very exciting project.\n\nRegarding your question about a made-to-order service, I must clarify that our facilities are structured for bulk production, and we are unable to accommodate single-unit orders.\n\nI also noticed your requested quantities. To ensure we are aligned from the start, it is important to mention our standard minimums, which are essential for the quality of production here in Portugal. For underwear, our minimum is 1,000 units per style and per color. For swimwear, the minimum is 200 units per style.\n\nTo move forward and properly assess the project with our team, I just need a few more details from you.\n\n1.  **Designs**: Do you have a Tech Pack for these styles or a Physical Sample you could send to our offices?\n2.  **Timeline**: What is your desired delivery date for the production order?\n3.  **Target Price**: Could you please clarify the target production price per style for the underwear and swimwear items separately?\n\nOnce I have this information, I can better assess your project. Specific capabilities like sublimation printing are then confirmed by our technical team during their analysis.",

We are committed to a long-te=\nrm manufacturing relationship and expect to scale volume significantly in Ye=\nar 2.One additional question =E2=80=94 the tech pack i=\nncludes a sublimation print reference page at the end. We are planning a lim=\nited print edition alongside the core collection. Could your technical team c=\nonfirm whether your facility can handle sublimation printing on Carvico=C2=AE=\n Vita fabric prior to cutting and sewing?

I have received the file and will keep it ready for our technical team's review.\n\nI appreciate you sharing your goals for the initial production run and your question about flexibility. To be transparent, our production model is built on specific minimums which are essential to maintain the standards of quality and efficiency we are known for. For this reason, the minimum of 1,000 units per style for underwear and 200 units per style for swimwear is a firm requirement, even for a first collection. This would also apply to the printed swimwear edition, which would need to meet the 200-unit minimum per style to proceed.\n\nI also noted your desired timeline for the August trade show. The complete process, from initiating sampling to having the final production ready for shipment, takes approximately 5 months. Our factories also have their annual closure for a few weeks in August, which impacts scheduling. Considering these factors, a realistic delivery for a production order placed now would be around October 2026.\n\nI understand this might be different from your initial plans. Could you let me know if meeting these standard minimums and working with this timeline is feasible for you?",
