For a custom workwear order, production should begin only after the garment, quantities, artwork and sample are unambiguous. This six-gate workflow shows what a buyer should prepare and approve before a purchase order moves forward.
Gate 1: Define the use and deadline
List the wearer roles, work environment, number of locations, expected quantity range and required-in-hand date. Note whether the garment is for a customer-facing team, an event, travel or a specific task. If protective performance is required, state the exact standard and request documentation before selecting a style.
Gate 2: Select a model and confirm its specification
Choose by model or product page, not by a general phrase such as “black jacket.” Record the style name, color, size chart and any required product facts. Ask for missing information—such as care instructions, fabric composition or measurements—in the written quote instead of filling it in from appearance.
Gate 3: Build the quantity and size schedule
Provide a count for every model, color and size. Separate teams or delivery locations if their allocations differ. The minimum order is 100 pieces per selected style. In a multi-style order, list each style separately and meet the 100-piece minimum for each.
Gate 4: Approve artwork and placement
Send the logo in a clean vector or high-resolution file where available. Mark each position on a front, back or sleeve view and specify approximate width and height. Ask the production team to recommend a decoration method for the artwork and garment surface. Keep separate notes for every product in a mixed order; do not assume one method or logo size works for every fabric.
Gate 5: Review and sign off the sample
Check the sample on representative wearers. Review garment fit, shade, construction, logo color, scale and position. For a layered garment, try it over the layer the employee will wear. List requested changes in one revision set, then confirm the revised sample or production-equivalent artwork before approval. Keep the final sample reference and artwork version with the order record.
Gate 6: Release a written production brief
Before production, the written order should state the model, color, quantity by size, artwork version, decoration positions, approved sample reference, price, packing and delivery destination. Paid branded samples are dispatched within 15 days. Bulk-production and transit dates are separate from the sample window; KERVIMO provides the production start and required-arrival dates in the written quote for your order.

Frequently asked questions
How do bulk-production and shipping dates work?
The paid branded sample commitment is dispatch within 15 days. Bulk-production and shipping dates are listed separately in the written quote for the selected style, decoration method, quantity and destination.
Can a digital mockup replace a sample?
A mockup helps review layout, but it does not verify physical fit, color or decoration on the garment. Request a sample when those details affect approval.
