A PPS (Pre-Production Sample) is a small initial batch of garments made to test mass production before the full manufacturing run begins. It allows verification of all essential production details and ensures the final model meets quality standards and technical specifications.
The PPS is a preliminary version of the garment, made using the same materials and production methods that will be used for the mass production. This prototype is thoroughly tested to check crucial aspects such as:
Each garment size is generally included in this small batch to ensure all model variations are properly produced. The goal is to validate production before moving on to large-scale manufacturing.
Once the PPS samples have been tested and approved by the designer or production team, mass manufacturing can begin. This ensures that every garment produced on the production line will meet the same quality standards and initial specifications, thus guaranteeing consistency and customer satisfaction.
