It gives me a much clearer picture of your project.\n\nRegarding the design, since you are currently working without a final Tech Pack, do you have a physical sample of a pouch you like that you could ship to our office here in Portugal? We can work from a physical reference to understand the construction you are aiming for.\n\nAs for the timeline, I want to be transparent about our production schedule to ensure we meet the high-quality standards we're known for. The full process, from initial sampling to final production, typically takes a minimum of five months. It's a careful process that allows for proper sourcing and prototyping. Also, please keep in mind that our factories close for their annual holiday for a few weeks in August. For an order started now, the earliest feasible delivery date would be in September 2026.\n\nLet me know if sending a physical sample is an option for you.",
