How Many Samples Should You Test Before Bulk Activewear Production?

There is no fixed number of activewear samples that proves a design is ready for bulk production.

Test enough versions to resolve construction, fit, materials, and branding, and evaluate representative sizes rather than only one sample size. A size set helps check grading, while a production-representative sample confirms final materials.

Agree on a sampling plan that covers your garment's risks and document all unresolved issues before bulk approval.
