What should I ask a streetwear manufacturer before starting sampling?

Before starting sampling, brands should ask a streetwear manufacturer what files are required, how the factory reviews tech packs, which fabrics are available, what logo techniques can be used, how trims are sourced, how long sampling may take, how sample revisions are handled, and what affects MOQ and pricing. Brands should also ask whether the manufacturer supports private labels, hangtags, packaging, size grading, and bulk quality control. These questions help prevent unclear expectations before the first sample. A strong streetwear manufacturer will usually ask detailed questions back because sample quality depends on clear product information.
