I've received your files, and they will be very helpful for our team to understand your aesthetic and creative direction.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **Sample\/Development Cost**: The cost of a sample depends on the complexity of each specific design. We will need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper sample quotation.\n\n2. **Sample Lead Time**: Typically, our sampling process takes about 6-8 weeks.\n\n3. **Production Lead Time**: After sample approval, production usually takes 10-14 weeks.\n\n4. **Available Premium Cotton Qualities**: We offer a range of premium cotton options, including organic cotton and cotton\/modal blends, suitable for high-quality bandanas and scarves.\n\n5. **Printing Technique**: We recommend digital printing for full custom designs, as it allows for vibrant colors and intricate details without significant limitations.\n\n6. **Custom Woven Label Possibilities**: We can incorporate custom woven labels into your products, tailored to your branding needs.\n\n7. **Packaging Options**: We offer various packaging solutions, which can be customized to align with your brand's image.\n\n8. **Sample\/Development Cost Credit**: Unfortunately, the sample\/development cost cannot be credited against the first production order.\n\nRegarding pricing, I must clarify that we do not provide indicative production prices at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team analyzes your Tech Pack or physical sample and confirms the final quantities. However, I still need your target production price per style to proceed.\n\nPlease let me know your target production price per style, and we can move forward with your project.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo  \nPortugal Textile",
