The sampling process is the stage where sample products are obtained from the supplier and approved before mass production begins. Color, dimensions, material, stitching, packaging and labeling are all fixed in writing at this point. The process runs over several rounds and every round belongs in the schedule. Order without an approved sample and there is no document to fall back on when a dispute comes.
The correct flow has three steps: first sample, revised sample after corrections, and a pre-production approval sample. The approved sample is sealed and kept; if the delivered batch deviates, the comparison is made against it. In Turkish textiles and home textiles the most frequent problems are color shade and fabric weight, so weight should be written as a number on the sample sheet. Refusing to pay for samples is false economy; one bad batch costs many times the sample fee.
