How to Create Production-Ready Samples Without Agencies

You don’t need an agency to get a professional sample. With Genpire, you create a complete pack and work directly with factories.

The Direct Answer

Prepare visuals, measurements, materials, and construction notes in Genpire, export the tech pack, and request a sample from suppliers. Iterate quickly until it’s ready for production.

Lean Sampling Playbook

  1. Lock the design: finalize one or two variations.
  2. Create the pack: include POMs, tolerances, trims, labels.
  3. Shortlist suppliers: match category, MOQ, and quality tier.
  4. Send sample requests: include delivery address and deadlines.
  5. Evaluate sample: fit, finish, materials; document changes.
  6. Issue rev pack: update specs and confirm production.

Why This Beats Agencies

  • Control your costs and timeline.
  • Faster iteration loops.
  • Direct relationships with manufacturers.

FAQ

Q1: What if the first sample isn’t perfect?

Update the pack and request a revised sample—iteration is expected.

Q2: How much should I budget for samples?

Varies by category; a clear pack reduces re-sample costs.

Q3: Can I scale to production after sampling?

Yes—use the approved pack to open a PO and start production.
