Development

1. It depends on the design and the fabric.
2. Only the set up cost is per color. Each color needs an individual screen. But we get printing done by Metrage.
3. Depends. If there is only 1 process involved then 15 days but it there are several processes involved then more. For example we have to weave the fabric and then do printing/embellishments.
4. If the quantity is more than 2000 meters for the design then the screen cost can be absorbed. But you do not have to worry. I can consume all the set up cost for all your developments. You pay just the actual price for the samples.
