How long does a sample or prototype take?

Sampling is the fastest way to de-risk a larger order, and we treat it as a priority.

Typical timing

• Standard model sample - usually about 1 to 2 weeks, depending on current production load.
• Custom colour or logo - add time for colour matching and printing setup.
• Bespoke / new tooling prototype - scoped separately with its own timeline.

What we need

Tell us the exact model and any customization, and whether you need it freight-forwarded or hand-carried. We will give you a firm sample date and, where useful, a photo approval before shipment so you are not waiting on a physical parcel to start reviewing.

Note: the figures above are typical industry lead times and should be confirmed against our current schedule when you order.
