Samples & Prototyping
How to structure sample requests so that evaluation is meaningful before a larger order.
Record the version
Record model, date, sample identifiers, included accessories and any deviations from the intended specification.
Evaluate consistently
Use written criteria and comparable conditions when evaluating multiple samples.
Confirm costs
Clarify sample price, tooling, freight, sample lead time and whether any costs are refundable or creditable.
Bulk-order linkage
Do not assume a sample guarantees bulk consistency; agree how the approved sample and specification will be referenced in the order.
