For swimwear, this quantity accommodates 1 to 2 colors.\n\nRegarding pricing and development costs, our process works a bit differently. We do not provide price estimates. Instead, our technical team calculates a precise quote based on the project's specific requirements and the client's target price. This is why providing your target is a necessary step for us to analyze the project's feasibility.\n\nThe prototype development and fabric sourcing stage takes about 6-8 weeks. This is the first part of the overall 5-month timeline.\n\nBefore I can forward your project to our technical team for a full analysis and a formal quote, I still need the key information from my previous email to complete this initial validation phase. Could you please provide:\n\n1.  **Your country?**\n2.  **Your target production price per unit for this swim short?**\n3.  **Confirmation that the 200-400 units you mentioned is for this single style?**\n\nOnce I have these details, and we confirm the project is aligned with our capabilities, I can present our standard terms to move forward.",
