If you already have a tech pack, our sample makers work from it - size grading, stitch points, hardware call-outs, and material references included. If you do not, we can help translate a reference photo or rough sketch into a workable spec before the first sample is cut.
Size chart grading from XXS to XXL is one of the more overlooked parts of harness development, since strap length and D-ring placement do not scale evenly across sizes - we adjust the grading rather than simply resizing one pattern.
Important Checks Before Requesting a Quote
- Ask whether hardware tooling or mold costs apply if your design needs a custom buckle or D-ring shape.
- Confirm size chart grading is checked at each size, not linearly scaled from one base pattern.
- Check what a sample round typically costs and how many rounds are usual before approval.
- Clarify if a factory price list or catalog PDF is available to reference before your first RFQ.
How We Support This Sourcing Need
Tech pack development support
We can help build or refine a tech pack from a reference photo, sketch, or partial spec so the sample maker has clear construction detail to follow.
Size grading from XXS to XXL
Graded sizes should be reviewed for strap length and hardware placement rather than scaled proportionally from one base size; we can sample key sizes to confirm fit.
OEM/ODM tooling for custom hardware
Custom buckle or hardware shapes may require tooling; we explain mold cost and lead time upfront so it can be planned into your budget.

Common Questions
Do I need a finished tech pack to request a sample?
No. A reference photo or sketch is enough to start - we can help build out the tech pack detail as part of the sample development process.
Is there a cost for hardware tooling on a custom buckle design?
Custom hardware shapes can require mold tooling, which we quote separately from the product cost so you can decide if it fits your budget and volume.
