4. SAMPLING
Sampling is done in order to
• Attract buyers/customers
• Order generation
Main properties of samples are:
• Good quality
• Affordable price
• Innovative

5. SAMPLING PROCEDURE IN GARMENT
MANUFACTURING
Sample Development:
“The process of making garments with specific measurements”
Garment samples are inevitably important before starting the
bulk production.
The buyers generally places the order after they are satisfied with
the quality of the Samples.
Buyers require different types of sample from different stages of
the order process.
Usually produced by a small section called sampling section.
Supervised by the pattern master and/or designer.
5
6. PURPOSE OF SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT
To allow the buyer to judge the production capabilities
of the manufacturer.
To provide a means for making revisions in the bulk
production process.
To let the manufacturer estimate the thread and fabric
consumption,
To develop cost quotations.
To grab the potential customers.
6
7. DIVISION OF SAMPLES
Development Sample - Initial stage of garment
manufacturing. These samples are made before
production.
Production Sample - Last stage of garment
manufacturing. By this, a buyer can know the bulk
production condition of a garment industry.

10. SAMPLING
Details of Garment Sample:
• Ref. number
• Color
• Fabric
• Composition
• Description
• Quantity
• Style number
• size

11. DESIGN/ PROTO SAMPLE
First sample for garment sampling department.
Proto is the first stage, where the factory will
transform its design into a product (in 3D form).
The designer could be able to compare and see
what he/she has envisioned is possible or not in
3D.
Created by a fashion designer.
11
12. DESIGN/ PROTO SAMPLE
Proto sample is made in available similar fabrics
but in the actual measurements and
specifications.
In one size, as specified by the buyer.
Not mentioned fit and fabric details in this stage.
12
13. WHY PROTO SAMPLE?
Ensures manufacturer and apparel brand are on
the same page
Leads to more accuracy and fewer rejections
Saves time and money
Protects against misinterpretation on style
detailing
Expressively improves efficiency and productivity
13
14. IMPORTANCE OF PROTO SAMPLE FOR
ORGANIZATION
By making this sample the factory learn about
the:
Style
Its construction
Machine requirement
Processes to be used to make quality product
14
15. IMPORTANCE OF PROTO SAMPLE FOR
ORGANIZATION
What could be the all difficulties during bulk
production
The suggestion of alternates to the buyers / get
their approval to avoid the problem at later
stage.
The patterns may be altered
Effective to reduce the material consumption /
CMT.
15
16. IMPORTANCE OF PROTO SAMPLE FOR
ORGANIZATION
Use of existing machinery or purchase of new
machines
The suitability of the intended fabrics and
process is established for mass production
At the sampling stage, the quantities of fabric
and trimmings are re-established
16
17. VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING
It is first stage where only aesthetics are judged
in sample
Virtual prototyping is a technique used in the
process of product development through CAD,
CAM.
Virtual prototyping is effective and time saving
way to communicate with buyer without sending
physical sample.
17
18. FIT SAMPLE
For making a fit sample, fashion designers are
using dummy.
Fit samples are prepared by buyer order sheet
measurement.
18
19. PHOTOSHOOT SAMPLE
When the fit sample is approved the photo shoot
sample is made.
Taking Photo shoot for the buyer where samples
will be worn by the models or dummy.
Actual fabrics and accessories are compulsory
19
20. MOCK UP SAMPLE
Not a complete sample.
For buyer few parts of garments are made.
The part of garments such as sleeve, collar, front
panel, leg parts etc.
20
21. SIZE SET SAMPLE
Garment has different sizes such as S, L, M, XL,
XXL, etc.
To check the fit of the garment in different sizes.
Size set sample is very important because
without this approval, the cutting would not be
started
21
22. APPROVAL SAMPLE
This sample is made actual fabrics and
accessories.
Approval sample is actual buyer one kinds of
recommend for next process.
22
23. PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLE
Last stage of development sample.
In apparel industry, short name of this sample
is PP sample.
Garment bulk production depends on
approval of pre-production sample from
buyer
23
24. ONLINE SAMPLE
A sample which is collected from the first
stage of production process.
For production follow up, a buyer must
collect this sample from the apparel industry.
Use original fabrics and accessories.
24
25. SHIPMENT SAMPLE
In this stage production has done.
Use original fabrics and accessories.
For sending this sample to the buyer, need all packing
accessories such as:
• hanger,
• packing list,
• bar code sticker,
• hang tag,
• price tag, etc.
25
27. STEPS IN SAMPLING PROCESS
1- Design/Sketch
• Designer draws several sketches in the sketch
book
• No detail at first moment but a number of
sketches
• Analysis and selection of sketches by a panel of
designers
• Flat drawings are made that help pattern
makers in patterns
27
28. STEPS IN SAMPLING PROCESS
Fashion sketches Flat/technical sketches
28
29. STEPS IN SAMPLING PROCESS
2- Pattern Design
• Development of first pattern
for designing
• Selection of one standard size
for pattern making
• Purpose is to create sample
garment for test fit

30. STEPS IN SAMPLING PROCESS
3- Sample Making
• Sending of first pattern into assembly for
garment making
• Sample is constructed to analyze pattern fit and
design
• Sample analysis by a panel of designers, pattern
makers and sewing specialist.
• Changes are made according to comments.
