A collection of garment-dyed and washed bedding sounds wonderful, and it's certainly an area where the quality of Portuguese production can truly shine.\n\nIt is fine that you will send the Tech Pack later. Regarding the quantities, for bedding, our minimums are based on fabric consumption. For solid colors, the minimum is 500 square meters, and for printed designs, it is 1,000 square meters.

The end of July 2026 delivery\ntimeline works for our planning, and we are aligned with this schedule.\n\nRegarding the target production price, our preliminary target FOB price per\nstyle is as follows (subject to final specifications and fabric selection):\n\nStyle 1 -135x200+80x80\/1 cm (Solid \u2013 Garment Dyed): \u20ac9 per set tentative\n\nThese targets are flexible and open for discussion once fabric quality,\nGSM, finishing details, and packaging specifications are confirmed.\n\nI will be sharing the Tech Pack shortly so your technical team can review\nall details properly.
