01Start with the print and the base cloth
Share a design reference and your preferred colors, repeat scale and hand feel. Confirm the fiber composition, finished width, weight and printing route for the selected article rather than inferring them from a photograph.
02Specify the destination, not just “Africa”
Tell us the country, customer group and intended use. West African, East African and Francophone destinations should not be treated as a single specification: pattern selection, presentation and packing requirements belong in the inquiry.
03Approve the sample before production
Use a physical swatch to review color, print definition and handle. Screen colors vary. Discuss the relevant colorfastness, washing and packing requirements against the final product specification.
