Can I request a sample before placing a bulk order, and what is the sample cost, production time, and shipping fee?

Yes, requesting a sample is a fundamental step in our production process. 

At Vainnx, we highly recommend that every client approves a physical prototype before moving into bulk manufacturing. As a specialized streetwear manufacturer, we believe that the "hand-feel" of the fabric and the precision of the fit cannot be fully judged through a screen. A physical sample allows you to verify the weight of our heavy-duty cottons, the quality of our specialized washes, and the accuracy of your custom silhouettes. This "Golden Sample" serves as the quality benchmark for your entire production run, ensuring that your vision is perfectly translated into reality.

What is the cost of a custom streetwear sample?

The sample cost typically ranges from $50 to $150 per piece, depending on the complexity of the design and the specific techniques required. As leading custom clothing manufacturers, we factor in the specialized labor involved in creating one-off patterns and setting up machinery for custom prints or embroidery. While the initial sample fee is higher than the per-unit price of a bulk order, Vainnx offers a sample fee refund policy. Once you move forward with a bulk order that meets our target quantity, the initial sample cost is credited back to your total invoice. This makes the development phase highly cost-effective for growing clothing brand manufacturers looking to refine their collections.

How long does sample production take?

Speed is one of Vainnx's core advantages in the competitive fashion market. While many private label clothing manufacturers take weeks to deliver a prototype, our vertically integrated facility offers rapid sampling in just 5 working days. This accelerated timeline is made possible by our in-house team of expert pattern makers and sample sewers who specialize exclusively in streetwear aesthetics. From the moment your tech pack is finalized and the sample fee is paid, we begin the technical development immediately. This 5-day window includes pattern creation, fabric cutting, sewing, and applying any custom artwork, allowing you to maintain your brand’s momentum and meet tight marketing deadlines.

What are the shipping fees and delivery times for samples?

We utilize premium international couriers such as DHL, FedEx, and UPS to ensure your samples reach you safely and quickly. The shipping fee for a single sample typically ranges from $30 to $50, depending on your global location and the weight of the garment (heavyweight streetwear hoodies, for example, cost more to ship than light tees). Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 working days once the package leaves our facility. Because Vainnx has 10 years of professional experience in international logistics, we handle all export documentation to ensure a smooth customs process. Total turnaround from payment to having the sample in your hands is often less than two weeks.
