Development process

Prototyping
This process is used to test the final shape that will be used to produce your models. The prototyping process is very important, since it defines the final shapes comfort and manufacturing process.
PPS – Pre-production Samples
Once the prototype is approved, we proceed with samples development. To produce samples, we use all final materials that will be used for production. The sample product is identical to the final product. The sampling process is very important, because it allows us to test final materials to be used, to test fitting and confirm the comfort level. It is also in this step that the manufacturer calculates/confirms the production price of each product.PPS Samples can be used by sales teams or even for photo shooting and other marketing tools.
Production
Depending on the product, every factory has a MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) that Portugal Production will consider when selecting the match between factory and brand. The production phase is highly complex in terms of control an follow up, and it demands attention to delivery dates of materials and components and deadlines compliance.
