This feels important\ngiven we are developing from scratch together.\n\n3. PRINT AND COLOUR SETUP\nCould you give an indicative cost for the neon colourway setup? As colour\nvibrancy and fastness are central to the product, I want to understand the\nsetup cost involved before agreeing.\n\nOnce I have clarity on these three points I am ready to proceed to get a\nmore detailed estimate.\n\nThank you\n\nKate\n*SWIM KF*\n\n\n\nOn Fri, 12 Jun 2026 at 14:51, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Thank you for confirming, Kate.\n>\n> Before I forward your project to our technical team for a formal quote, I\n> need to confirm you agree with our standard financial and operational terms:\n>\n> - Development Fees: Costs depend on style (includes prototyping, sourcing,\n> patterns, QC).\n> - Prints and embroideries: Please note that there is an additional initial\n> cost for setting up local and digital prints, all-overs, and embroideries.\n> - Sample Cost: Charged at 2x (DOUBLE) the production price (e.g., if\n> production is \u20ac20, sample is \u20ac40).\n> - Payment Terms: 50% Advance \/ 50% Before Shipping (for both development\n> and production).\n> - Shipping: Ex-Works (Client manages\/pays shipping & insurance).\n> - Adjustments: Can only be made after placing the final order.\n>\n> Do you agree to proceed under these terms?\n>\n> Os melhores cumprimentos \/ Best regards,\n> Matilde Azevedo\n> Commercial Assistant\n> tel: +351 915 085 106 \n> email: matilde@portugaltextile.com\n> address: Rua da Zona Industrial de Alto de Pega 105 Loja F, 4480-761 Vila\n> do Conde\n> [image: Absolutarget]  [image: Portugal\n> Textile]  [image: Portugal Shoes]\n> \n> [image: Novo Projeto]\n>",
