This will help us assess the commercial viability of your project.\n\n3. **Delivery Timeline:** What is your desired delivery date for the Superveloce T-Shirts?\n\nRegarding your other questions:\n\n- We do handle garment dyeing and washes, but specific technical details will be addressed in the next phase by our production team.\n- Sample pricing and lead times depend on the specific design and complexity, which can only be confirmed after evaluating the Tech Pack.\n- We do not provide indicative unit prices at this stage.
