We would be delighted to explore the possibility of partnering with you for your custom technical padel socks.\n\nTo address your inquiries:\n\n1. **MOQ for Socks:** Our minimum order quantity for socks is 1,000 units per style and per colour. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate smaller quantities at this time.\n\n2. **Technical Capabilities:** Regarding your specific technical questions, such as producing socks with silicone grip, I cannot provide this information at this stage. These technical details will be answered in the next phase by our production team. For now, we need to focus on completing your commercial file.\n\n3. **Sample Development:** We can develop samples or prototypes before production. However, the cost of a sample depends entirely on the product and the complexity of the design.\n\n4. **Pricing:** Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team evaluates your project details, including the Tech Pack or Physical Sample, materials, and final quantities. We do not provide price estimates at this stage.\n\n5. **Lead Times:** Our standard lead time for sampling is 6\u20138 weeks, and production takes 10\u201314 weeks after order placement. Please note that factory closures in August and December may affect these timelines.\n\nIf you are able to meet our MOQ, please let me know, and we can proceed with gathering the necessary project details, such as your Tech Pack or Physical Sample, desired delivery date, and target production price per style.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner. I look forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed reply.\n\nI appreciate the information, and Portugal Textile sounds like a very interesting potential manufacturing partner.\n\nAs this is a new brand, an initial order of 1,000 units per style and colour is unfortunately higher than I had planned for the first market test.\n\nBefore deciding whether we can proceed, may I ask a few additional questions?\n\nWould it be possible to start with 1,000 pairs in total, divided between two colours or sizes?\nIs there any flexibility on the MOQ for a first production run?\nCould you provide a very rough indication of the expected price range for 1,000 pairs?\nDoes the 1,000-unit MOQ apply separately to each colour, or could the quantity be combined across colours?\nWould a technical drawing or product specification be sufficient at this stage, or would you require a physical sample?\nThe product I am developing is a premium technical crew-length padel sock, potentially with cushioning, foot support and silicone grip on the sole.\n\nI understand that an exact quotation requires a technical evaluation. However, even a broad price indication would help me assess whether the project is commercially realistic at this stage.\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nRasmus M\u00f8ller\n\n\n> Den 14. sep. 2026 kl. 11.03 skrev Matilde Azevedo :\n> \n> Hello Rasmus M\u00f8ller,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and providing details about your premium Scandinavian padel brand.
