Drop 01 / First Sample Request
Five hero proofs. Four production conversations.
Send this page when the vendor needs a tight brief instead of a full brand presentation. The goal is feasibility, placement proof, sample cost, and lead time before any production run.
Fit, blank quality, print scale, cap distortion, and chlorine durability.
Pick the vendor who explains constraints clearly and can repeat production.
