Question 1

What information or files do I need to provide to start a prototyping project?

Accepted Answer

We recommend detailed tech packs, flat sketches, vector artwork, target size specifications and your desired performance or price-point goals. If you only have conceptual sketches, our design team can help build out complete tech packs.

Question 2

How long does it typically take to produce a physical prototype?

Accepted Answer

Standard prototyping and first-article sample creation generally require 10 to 15 business days following finalization of the tech pack and material allocation. Complex multi-layer armor pockets or custom sublimation prints may need additional time.

Question 3

Can we request physical revisions after receiving the first sample?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Iterative refinement is core to our service — designated revision rounds adjust fit profiles, pocket placements or hardware components until you are fully satisfied with the golden sample.

Question 4

Are prototype development costs credited toward bulk production orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sampling and prototyping fees are often credited back or discounted when you transition the validated design into a full-scale bulk manufacturing run with Province Group.

Question 5

Do you offer small-batch sample production before committing to full manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We provide small-batch pre-production (Salesman Sample) runs following prototype approval, so your sales team can photograph products, secure retail commitments or field-test before a full bulk order.
