Reactive-printed textile samples — production-grade pre-launch sampling made in the EU
Solutions · Sample production

Samples that are the real thing.

Pre-launch sampling for full collections, buyer pitches and design review — produced on the same reactive line, the same base and the same finish as your final run. So what you approve is exactly what ships. MOQ 1, by the piece or by the metre. Made across Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands.

The problem

A sample that lies costs you the collection.

Sampling only works if the sample tells the truth. When it’s made on a different machine or base than the run, the approval is a guess — and the gap shows up after you’ve committed the season. Sampling on the same European print-on-demand line that runs the production removes that gap.

Fidelity

Sample ≠ production

Sampling on a different machine or base means the approved piece and the produced run don’t match. Colour shifts, hand-feel changes, and the delta lands after you’ve committed.

Cost

Sampling priced like a project

Traditional sampling carries setup fees and minimums, so testing three colourways of one design becomes a budget line rather than a quick check.

Speed

Samples gate the timeline

Slow sample rounds push back the buyer pitch, the line sheet and the launch. The whole collection waits on the swatch.

The answer

Sample on the production line itself.

Because MOQ is 1, your sample is produced exactly how the run will be — the same reactive line, the same base, the same finish. Approval stops being a guess: what you sign off is what ships. Order a single piece, or fabric by the metre to see a print on the actual cloth.

  • Same line, same base, same finish — the sample is produced exactly how the run will be, so approval means certainty.
  • MOQ 1, by piece or metre — sample a single garment, or order fabric from 1 m to see a print on the actual cloth.
  • Instant tier pricing — no setup fees; a sample is priced the same transparent way as production.
  • Fast turnaround — sample rounds run on the production line, not a separate queue, so the timeline holds.
  • Full documentation — OEKO-TEX and GOTS docs on samples, ready for buyer and retail-channel review.
Reactive-printed fabric on the production line — sample the exact cloth your run will use
How it works

Sample, approve, scale — same place.

Order samples from the dashboard, review them in hand, approve, and scale to a full run on the same supply chain. The approved spec carries straight into production with nothing re-sourced.

01
Order samples
Piece or metre

Add the pieces or order fabric by the metre, upload artwork, and place the sample order — priced instantly by tier.

02
Review
In your hands

Assess colour, hand-feel and build on the real product — the same one the run will produce.

03
Approve
Lock the spec

Approve the sample and the spec locks: base, colour profile, sizes and care label, ready to scale.

04
Scale
Same supply chain

Move from sample to full production on the same line — what you approved is what ships.

What you can sample

From a swatch to a full collection.

Whatever you need to put in front of a buyer, a camera or a design review — sampled on the production line, at MOQ 1.

Collection samples

A full apparel or home collection sampled before you commit to the season.

Buyer pitch sets

Physical pieces for wholesale buyers and retail-channel meetings.

Line sheets & lookbooks

Production-grade pieces to shoot — the real product, not a mock-up.

Colourway tests

The same design across colourways, each at MOQ 1.

Fabric swatches

See a print on the actual cloth by the metre before cut-and-sew.

Fit & spec review

Sample a size run to lock fit and spec before scaling.

Who runs sample production

Six archetypes for pre-production sampling.

All six are managing the same risk — bulk-committing to a SKU before they can physically inspect the finished product — from different angles.

Fashion design teams

Designing capsule collections for 200–5,000-unit runs. Sample the AOP positioning, the cut and the brand fit before locking the production order.

Bedding manufacturers

Running their own cut-and-sew but evaluating Fabrixa as an alternative. Sample one duvet on each base (Percale, Sateen or blend) before specifying.

Retail buyers

Buying-team sampling for a house-line tier review. Sample the SKU at production-grade quality and circulate it physically through the buying committee.

Interior designers

Validating cushion, curtain and table-linen artwork on the actual fabric base before committing to a residential or hospitality project order.

Procurement teams

Multi-supplier vendor evaluation. Sample the same SKU at the same spec from each candidate supplier and compare physically against quality standards.

Content & photography

Brand teams needing finished-product samples for product photography, marketing imagery and press packs ahead of a production launch.

Sample-to-production

No surprises between approval and the run.

The whole point of a sample is that it predicts the run. On one supply chain, with one locked spec, it does — exactly.

  • What you approve is what ships — sample and run share the line, base and process.
  • No setup fees — sampling priced by the same transparent tier model as production.
  • Reusable spec — the approved sample locks a spec reused on every production order.
  • White-label dispatch — samples and production both ship under your brand (custom-printed packaging is on our roadmap and available for larger orders).
