Make the sample a production reference
A glove sample should settle the details that matter to the order. Looking at the logo alone leaves fit, workmanship and packaging decisions open. Review it against a written specification, record the changes and identify the exact version approved for production.
Before sampling, agree on the materials, size, construction, branding, packaging and any required tests. State what the sample represents: a fit sample, a logo trial or a finished pre-production sample. If a material or component is temporary, record that limitation instead of treating it as approved.
Check the glove in a consistent order
| Check | What to review |
|---|---|
| Material and appearance | Surface, color reference, lining and agreed material specification. Note any substitutions. |
| Measurements and fit | Palm circumference, finger length, overall length and wrist opening using agreed measurement points. |
| Movement and comfort | Finger reach, hand closure, cuff entry, seam position and any backing behind a logo. |
| Workmanship | Seams, stitching, reinforcement, trimming, matching and the agreed construction details. |
| Branding | Artwork version, dimensions, location, colors, edges, depth or stitch detail as applicable. |
| Packaging | Labels, care information, pair or piece count, barcode and agreed retail or shipment presentation. |
Review representative sizes when the order includes a size range. Approval of a medium-size glove does not, by itself, confirm every size or the complete grading specification.
Review performance evidence separately
A visual or fit review cannot establish a cut rating, impact level, chemical resistance or another tested performance claim. Identify the required test method and match any report to the actual glove construction and material scope. If new testing is needed, agree on the samples, laboratory, cost and timing before making a claim.
Use an appropriate, controlled evaluation for the intended application. Do not expose a person to a hazard to see whether an unverified sample protects them. Wearer feedback on fit and handling can help select a design, but it does not replace the required performance evidence.
Review the quality and document support page for the information to send with a report or inspection request.
Record changes so they cannot be confused
Give each reviewed sample or document a version identifier. Photograph a requested change, mark its location and state the target result. “Make it better” is difficult to produce or inspect; a defined measurement, placement or agreed reference gives both parties a clear check.
If a revision changes the pattern, material, padding or branding process, ask whether it affects fit, price, testing or lead time. Review the relevant revised sample or documented result before giving approval. Keep the final artwork, specification and packing instructions together.
Confirm what releases the order
For GloveWise orders, bulk production starts after the sample and final specifications are approved in writing, order and packaging requirements are confirmed, and the agreed 50% deposit has cleared. The remaining 50% is paid after the agreed inspection and before shipment, subject to the accepted written order terms.
Samples usually take 5–10 working days; bulk production usually takes 20–30 working days after the required approvals and deposit. Revisions, special materials, testing and the product itself can change the schedule. Allow separately for shipment time.
Your approval record should identify the sample version, material and color references, size specification, artwork, packaging, acceptance points and any open exceptions. Keep it with the written order. See the full order process before confirming the production start.
