No\nside-seam stitching.\n- Handed: a left and a right (mirror pair), so the seam sits off the\nforearm passing platform on each arm.\n- Fabric: 80% polyester \/ 20% elastane, ~240 gsm, matte.\n- Decoration: full-panel dye-sublimation, Pantone-matched. Launch colour:\nBlack.\n- Compression: 15-20 mmHg, graduated via tapered cut =E2=80=94 peak at the =\nwrist,\neasing to the bicep.\n- Stay-up: internal flat-elastic band at the cuff. No silicone.\n\nTwo things we hold the sample to: no fibre show-through under full stretch,\nand compression retained after sublimation heat.\n\nFull tech pack and one-page brief on request.\n\nA few questions:\n\n1. Can you meet this spec in full? If not, what would you change, and why?\n2. EXW price per unit at 100 \/ 150 \/ 300 per colour (EUR).\n3. MOQ =E2=80=94 initial and reorder.\n4. Sampling =E2=80=94 lead time, per-sample cost, and whether that fee cred=\nits\nagainst bulk.\n5. Bulk lead time from an approved sample.\n6. Certifications held (OEKO-TEX, ISO).\n7. Confirmation that production is in Portugal.\n\nTo start, we'd want one Black sample in size M. Please include its cost and\nturnaround.\n\nWe're not looking for the cheapest factory. We're looking for the right one=\n.\n\nSaejin\nTERRA\nterrasportsco@gmail.com\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (TERRA-TechPack-v2_6a44ff6179abd.pdf, TERRA-Supplier-Brief-TR-VB-AS-003_6a44ff617c212.pdf).

I appreciate the comprehensive tech pack and brief you've shared.\n\nTo proceed, I need to gather some additional information to ensure we can accurately assess your project:\n\n1. **Quantities**: Could you please confirm the total quantity you intend to produce per style? Our minimum order quantity for general clothing items is 200-300 units per style. \n\n2. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style? This will help our technical team evaluate the feasibility of your project.\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThanks for the quick response.\n\nOn quantities: we'd start at roughly 100-150 units per colour for the first\nrun, scaling on reorders once the product proves out. I'll be honest that a\n200-300 minimum is above where we're starting, so it would help to know\nwhether that floor is firm or has any flexibility for a launch run.\n\nOn target price: I'd rather not name one before I've seen what the build\nactually costs \u2014 I don't want to anchor the quote artificially. If you can\ngive me an EXW price per unit at 100 \/ 150 \/ 300 per colour, that tells us\nboth what we need.\n\nBefore we go further on commercials, though, one thing decides everything,\nso it's worth putting to the technical team first: can they confirm they\ncan build this specific product in-house \u2014\n\n1. A structural bonded or welded seam (not stitched) on the inner arm of a\nstretch garment.\n2. Full-panel dye-sublimation on the poly\/elastane, holding compression\nafter the sublimation heat.\n3. Graduated compression (15-20 mmHg) achieved via a tapered cut, in a\ncustom fabric.\n\nIf the technical team can confirm those three, we're keen to move to a\nsingle Black sample in size M \u2014 and I'd want its cost, turnaround, and\nwhether the sample fee credits against bulk.\n\nThe tech pack and one-page brief are already attached to my first email for\ntheir review.\n\nThanks,\nSaejin\nTERRA\nterrasportsco@gmail.com\n\nOn Wed, Jul 01, 2026 12:52 PM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Saejin,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing the detailed specifications for\n> your compression arm sleeve.

We can work\ntoward that quantity at production, provided the product is right; that's\nexactly why the sample stage matters to us before committing to a run of\nthat size.\n\nOn target price: as a broad range, we're looking at roughly EUR 8-14 per\nunit EXW at volume for this build. That's an estimate to help your\ntechnical team assess feasibility, not a fixed target \u2014 the actual number\nfollows from what the construction genuinely costs.\n\nWith the quantity and a price range now on the table, the one thing we\nstill need before going further is the technical confirmation. Could you\nhave the technical team confirm they can build this specific product\nin-house:\n\n1. A structural bonded or welded seam (not stitched) on the inner arm of a\nstretch garment.\n2. Full-panel dye-sublimation on poly\/elastane, with compression retained\nafter the sublimation heat.\n3.
