Our Prototyping Process: From Design to Sample in Just 7 Days
Leveraging our established production lines and experienced design R&D team, our factory has achieved a rapid prototyping process—from design to sample delivery in just 7 days. This advantage enables clients to swiftly seize market opportunities and gain a competitive edge. Below, we detail our lingerie sample making process.
1. Requirement Communication: Define Design Direction (Day 1)
The first step in sampling is thorough communication with the client. Many buyers bring custom lingerie designs, sketches, inspiration images, or reference existing bra and panty sets. Based on client needs, we clarify the following key points:
a. Style positioning: Sensual, comfortable, functional, or athletic women's underwear b. Material selection: Lace, cotton, spandex, mesh, etc. c. Sizing standards: European/American, Asian, or custom sizing d. Brand requirements: Need for custom logo lingerie or private label lingerie
By clarifying these requirements, we ensure samples align with target markets and brand positioning.
2. Fabric and Trims Confirmation: Rapid Inventory Matching (Day 2)
Time is often wasted on material preparation. To boost efficiency, our custom lingerie manufacturer maintains a robust inventory of commonly used fabrics and trims, including lace, straps, underwires, cups, and fasteners. Clients may also specify their own fabric suppliers.
We provide multiple options tailored to design requirements and finalize selections within 24 hours. This enables swift project initiation—whether for women’s panties OEM samples or plus size lingerie prototypes.
3. Pattern Making & Technical Design: Efficiently Executed by Specialized Teams (Day 3-4)
After material confirmation, our professional patternmakers create patterns based on client designs. For complex lingerie set samples, we conduct construction analysis to ensure both aesthetic appeal and production efficiency during mass manufacturing.
This step typically concludes within 2 days. Concurrently, we develop construction sheets detailing fabric specifications, sewing techniques, and trimming applications to streamline subsequent production.
4. Sample Sewing: Rapid Small-Batch Production (Day 5-6)
Following pattern completion, our dedicated sample team commences sewing. Composed of experienced workers, this team handles intricate details such as lace appliqué assembly for lace lingerie samples or underwire installation for push-up bra prototypes.
Thanks to our factory's specialized division of labor, even complex products like bra and panty set ODM samples can be completed within 48 hours.
5. Quality Inspection and Delivery: Full Process Completed in 7 Days (Day 7)
Upon sample completion, we conduct rigorous quality inspections, including: - Size measurements - Stitching strength - Fabric comfort - Visual details (lace seams, color variation, accessory fastening)
Upon passing inspection, we capture high-definition photos and videos for client confirmation and arrange express sample delivery. From design consultation to client receipt, this entire process takes just 7 days.
6. Value of Rapid Prototyping
a. Seizing Market Opportunities Fashion trends evolve rapidly. OEM lingerie factory fast sample services enable clients to launch new products ahead of the curve.
