            "content": "Dear Matilde,Thank you for the detailed follow-up.\t1.\tTech Pack: Happy to share a construction spec (yarn blend, ribbed cuff, sizing S\/M\/L, colourway) for the plain sock body. We are finalising a separate localized finishing process with a specialist partner and will share those details separately, under NDA, once that step is contracted \u2014 it does not change the garment you would knit.\t2.\tQuantities: Your 1,000-unit MOQ per style\/colour is well above our planned first run (330 pairs). Before we commit, could you clarify: does this MOQ apply to a fully finished\/printed sock, or would you also quote a lower MOQ for plain, undecorated blanks that we finish separately? If blanks carry a lower MOQ, we\u2019d like a quote at 300\u2013500 pairs for our first run, with 1,000+ as the volume for a second order once we scale.\t3.\tTarget price: For a plain, undecorated technical crew sock (no finishing), our target is \u2264 5.50 EUR\/pair EXW at 1,000 pieces and \u2264 4.50 EUR\/pair at 5,000 pieces. Let us know where your pricing lands for both the blank and the fully finished version, so we can compare.\t4.\tDelivery date: We\u2019re targeting market launch in Q3 2027. A sample\/pilot run in Q4 2026\u2013Q1 2027, followed by bulk delivery by Q2 2027, would fit our timeline.Understood on the NDA policy \u2014 we\u2019ll hold back finishing-specific details until that changes, so this shouldn\u2019t block moving forward on the base garment quote.Looking forward to your response.Best regards,Sebastian KaspariFounder, Painout Gearpainoutgear@gmail.com \u00b7 +49 160 3470150Am 03.09.2026 um 13:03 schrieb Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com>:\ufeffHello Sebastian,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us with your project details for Painout Gear.

Please share it when possible, as it will help us understand your requirements better.\n\n2. **Quantities:** Our MOQ of 1,000 units applies to both finished and undecorated socks. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a lower MOQ for plain, undecorated blanks. If you are able to meet the 1,000-unit MOQ, we can proceed with a quote.\n\n3. **Target Price:** For a plain, undecorated technical crew sock, your target price of \u20ac5.50 per pair at 1,000 pieces is noted. However, our internal reference price for socks is \u20ac12 per pair. Unfortunately, this means your target price is below our viable threshold, and we cannot proceed with the project under the current pricing.\n\n4. **Delivery Date:** Your timeline for a market launch in Q3 2027 and a sample run in Q4 2026\u2013Q1 2027 is noted. However, given the pricing issue, we cannot move forward at this time.\n\nThank you for considering us for your production needs.
