I'm happy to give you a clearer picture of our process.\n\nWe always begin with sample development before any production run. The cost for a sample is typically double the final production price per unit. This is because the initial piece requires significant manual work, pattern making, and sourcing for a single item. So, to estimate a sample cost, we would first need to know your target production price.\n\nRegarding the timeline, the entire cycle from starting development to having the final production ready for shipment takes about five to six months. This ensures we can maintain the high standards of quality Portuguese manufacturing is known for. For instance, if we were to start today, the earliest feasible delivery would be around the end of September.\n\nI understand your t-shirt is a more refined design. To give you a more concrete idea of the costs for your specific product, even hypothetically for a 200-unit run, I would need a bit more detail. Do you have a Tech Pack prepared, or perhaps a physical sample of a similar garment that you could send us? And just for estimation purposes, what would be your target production price per t-shirt?\n\nWith that information, I could provide a much more accurate sense of the potential costs.",

I am happy to clarify those points for you.\n\nThe exact development cost is determined by our technical team only after they have analyzed the physical sample you send. It is a one-time fee per style that covers the initial work of creating the patterns, sourcing the specific materials, and producing the first prototype for your approval.\n\nThe development phase includes that first sample. Any further adjustments or additional confirmation samples requested after you've reviewed the first one are possible, and they would be charged at the standard sample rate. All adjustments are finalized before we move to the bulk production order.\n\nI have now added your project to our system. Our technical team will review your request and will contact you shortly via email with the next steps, including the address where you can ship your reference sample.\n\nThank you for choosing Portugal Textile.",
