Sampling and production process

Sampling and production process: from brief to delivery

A six-step OEM process for anime and gaming merchandise: brief, creative direction, sampling, production, quality control and worldwide delivery. You always know what we need and what you receive back.

The six steps

What happens, when, and what you get back

01 About 1 week

Brief & IP

We review the licence, the audience, the target market and the commercial goals, then agree the scope of the programme before any design work starts.

You receive

Programme scope · Feasibility view · Indicative lead times

02 1 to 2 weeks

Creative direction

The concept becomes specific products, with a reference direction and a proposed line-up shaped around the audience and the market.

You receive

Product line-up proposal · Visual reference set

03 2 to 4 weeks

Sampling

Materials, dimensions and construction are proven on physical samples. Nothing moves to volume production until the sample is signed off.

You receive

Pre-production samples · Specification sheet

04 3 to 6 weeks

Production

Manufacturing runs against the approved sample and specification. Planning, capacity and material supply are coordinated in one place.

You receive

Production planning · Progress updates

05 Runs with production

Quality control

Checkpoints agreed before volume production establish the standard. In-line inspection and a final report close the series.

You receive

Final QC report · Compliance documents

06 1 to 4 weeks

Global delivery

Packaging, labelling and export documentation are completed so the programme ships to your market without a second supplier in the chain.

You receive

Retail packaging · Export documents · Worldwide shipping

Production confidence

Quality is managed, not assumed

Specs & samples

Product specifications, approved samples and checkpoints establish a clear quality standard before volume production begins.

Packaging & logistics

Packaging and logistics are developed as part of the product—not treated as an afterthought at the end of the process.
