Before we begin

A few useful
questions.

What should we share to get started?

Share the intended use, design stage, approximate size, material or finish direction, estimated quantity and target timing. Sketches, CAD files, references or an existing prototype help us understand the starting point. An early brief is welcome.

What quantities are the right fit?

Made focuses on planned, low-to-medium-volume production. The practical batch size depends on the design, material, finish and any setup or testing. Share estimated quantities by variant and whether you anticipate future orders; we will scope a suitable production plan.

What do we approve before production?

We agree the prototype and samples, final design specifications, materials, finishes and variants. The production scope also sets quantity, pricing, acceptance criteria, packaging, delivery and timing. Any required testing is identified as part of development.

What affects pricing and timing?

Size, geometry, material, finish, quantity and variant mix all affect the plan. Development, sampling, setup, testing and delivery are scoped alongside production. We agree the approval steps and schedule before work begins.

Can products carry our brand?

Branding, labeling, packaging and delivery can be included in the scope. Share how the product will be presented, packed and distributed so those requirements can be resolved with the design.

Can the design evolve between batches?

Yes. Digital models can change without replacing a shape-specific mold. Changes to the design, material or finish may need new samples, validation, setup and pricing. We review them against the approved specification before the next run.

How are materials and performance agreed?

The intended use guides material selection, samples, testing and acceptance criteria. Recycled or bio-based materials are considered where they suit the appearance and performance requirements. Any application-specific testing is agreed within the development scope.
