What to prepare before requesting a vest sample
Fabric, tape layout, size curve, logo files and packing notes — the five items that shorten a sample round.

A sample round moves fastest when the brief is complete. Fabric preference, tape layout, colours, size curve and logo artwork should arrive together, because each one affects the pattern before cutting starts.
Packing notes are often left until the end, but they change the carton dimensions and the way garments are folded. Including them with the sample request avoids a second packing round later.
