Target Price: You previously mentioned a target price range of EUR 10 to EUR 20 per polo shirt. Could you confirm if this is still your maximum target production price per unit? Regarding your questions: - Cooling Fabrics: We can discuss available options once we have more details about your project requirements. - Sample Costs and Lead Times: The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval. - Customization Options: We offer various customization options, including woven labels, neck labels, hang tags, embroidery, and custom packaging. - Production and Delivery Lead Times: Our production lead time is approximately 10\u201314 weeks after order placement, with a total cycle of at least 5 full calendar months. - Shipping Costs: Shipping is managed on an Ex-Works basis, meaning the client manages and pays for shipping and insurance. Once I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.
