Can you get custom samples? Short answer: yes.
But here’s what to know before you ask for one:
Custom samples cost more than stock samples and they take longer, because the factory is making something just for you
You can often negotiate the sample cost credited back when you place your bulk order.
My favorite move: order a stock sample first. Once you know the factory’s quality is there, then pay for custom.
That’s how you walk into bulk production already knowing what you’re getting and what it truly costs you. Even if you’ve paid for a sample before that came out wrong.
