See Before You Scale: Why Smart Buyers Ask for Samples
Choosing an OEM partner is a big decision — and smart buyers know the value of testing samples before committing to full-scale production. At YubinGlobal, we make it easy for serious buyers to request a free OEM sample of your custom heated gear, cooling vests, or outdoor workwear.
Whether you’re launching a new line or scaling up, here’s exactly how the OEM sample process works — step by step.
✅ 1. Share Your Idea or Reference
We start with your vision. To kick off the process, simply send us:
- A tech pack, sketch, or reference product
- Your preferred features: heated zones, fan modules, battery pocket, waterproofing, etc.
- Basic specs: sizing, fabric type, colors
No tech pack? No problem. Our R&D team can help you build one based on your concept or reference.
🧵 2. Confirm Specifications & Materials
Once we understand your needs, we work together to finalize:
- Fabric options: standard or recycled
- Electronics: fan modules, heating pads, battery types
- Branding elements: embroidery, labels, logo placement
✅ Example: A Canadian fishing brand asked for a hybrid heated vest with back support and side zips — all mapped in the first spec sheet.
🧩 3. Quotation & Sampling Timeline
Next, you’ll receive:
- Estimated unit cost for bulk production
- Our MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
- Lead time for the sample (typically 7–14 days)
Free samples are available for qualified bulk buyers or pre-approved distributors. Startups may be asked for a refundable nominal fee.
🧵 4. We Build Your Prototype
Once approved, our in-house sample room will:
- Cut and sew your custom piece
- Install heating or fan modules as needed
- Run quality checks to ensure spec accuracy
Most samples ship within 7–14 business days, depending on complexity.
📦 5. You Test the Sample
We ship your prototype via express courier. You’ll be able to:
- Check the fit, finish, and branding
- Test battery performance or cooling airflow
- Share feedback for any needed changes
Your dedicated project manager will record all adjustments for the next version.
🔄 6. Revise & Finalize
Most buyers revise their sample once or twice — for example:
- Adjusting logo size or zipper style
- Changing fabric feel or adding internal pockets
Once finalized, we lock in your approved sample into the production BOM (Bill of Materials) for bulk manufacturing.
📈 Why Sampling Matters
Receiving a real sample helps you:
- Validate our OEM manufacturing quality
- Capture photos for pre-sales or crowdfunding
- Build trust with retailers or distributors
✅ Pro tip: Many brands use the approved sample to start pre-orders — reducing risk and securing cash flow for their first bulk run.
🔐 We Keep Your IP Safe
Your idea stays protected:
- We sign NDAs with every client
- Your designs, labels, and molds are never shared
- Samples are archived securely for future reorders or updates
📊 Case Study: From Sample to 5,000 Units
A European distributor started with a single heated jacket sample, based only on a hand sketch. After testing and refining, they launched a successful pre-sale and confirmed a 1,500-unit pilot order. Within one season, reorders exceeded 5,000 units, with only minor spec updates.
✅ Get a Sample, See the Difference
At YubinGlobal, we believe trust starts with touch. A physical prototype does more than show design — it proves function, quality, and commitment.
