Trade sample pack

Request samples before a bulk T-shirt or hoodie quote

Prissile helps Irish trade buyers review fabric, print finish, sizing notes and catalog options before a 300+ unit printed apparel order. Dublin-managed with production in Ludhiana, India.

Sample stage

What actually happens after you send a brief

Buyers ask what a sample costs and when it arrives before they will spend time on a brief. Sample cost, courier cost and the dispatch window are confirmed in writing against your specific request. Nothing is sent before you have agreed them.

  1. Step 1

    Send the brief

    Product route, target quantity, size range, artwork type and delivery destination. This is what decides which sample route is realistic.

  2. Step 2

    Get the sample cost in writing

    Prissile confirms what can be sampled, the sample cost and the courier cost. Nothing ships before you agree those figures. Before VAT and import duty.

  3. Step 3

    Review the physical garment

    Check GSM handle, fit against your size range, print placement and finish, and any retail-ready labelling or packaging you plan to sell into.

  4. Step 4

    Move to a production quote

    Confirm the quantity, print positions, size split and destination. The production quote is priced separately from the sample stage.

What to review

Use the sample pack to remove quote guesswork

The point is to check the product before committing to a trade production run. Sample availability and contents are confirmed after Prissile reviews the brief.

T-shirt fabric

160-220 GSM cotton T-shirts can be reviewed for handle, fit and print suitability.

Hoodie fabric

300-400 GSM fleece hoodies can be discussed for tourist ranges, events or repeat trade orders.

Print finish

Screen print, DTF transfer print, heat transfer or vinyl can be matched to the artwork route.

Retail-ready options

Care labels, fibre labels, Made in India labelling, folding, polybags and size stickers can be quoted.

What to send

A short brief makes sampling useful

Send enough detail for Prissile to match the right sample route. If the order is not yet at 300+ units, the catalog pages are usually the better first step.

  1. Brief item 1

    Product route: T-shirts, hoodies or both.

  2. Brief item 2

    Target quantity, size range and rough order timing.

  3. Brief item 3

    Artwork type, print positions and colour direction.

  4. Brief item 4

    Buyer channel, packaging needs and import planning questions.

Buyer fit

Sampling is for buyers who are close to a trade order

Good fit

  • Irish souvenir suppliers building tourist T-shirt or hoodie ranges.
  • Event merch buyers planning 300+ unit apparel runs.
  • Print shops checking white-label overflow production before quoting a customer.
  • Trade resellers comparing fabric, print finish and packaging options.

Bad fit

  • Single consumer garments or small personal jobs.
  • Buyers mainly looking for generic blank tees.
  • Orders below 300 new production units.
  • Rush orders without time for sample review, production, shipping and import checks.

Questions trade buyers ask

Trade sample pack notes

Who should request a trade sample pack?

Irish trade buyers planning 300+ unit printed T-shirt or hoodie orders should request a sample pack before asking for a production quote.

What can be reviewed before a quote?

A sample review can cover T-shirt fabric, hoodie fabric if available, print finish, size notes, catalog PDFs, pricing basis, packaging options and import notes.

Is there a minimum order after sampling?

New trade production orders start at 300+ units. The final quote depends on quantity, print method, packaging, delivery terms and import treatment.

Are the guide prices landed in Ireland?

No. T-shirts start from EUR 4.50 and hoodies from EUR 13.50 before VAT and import duty.

Will Prissile contact reseller customers?

No. Trade-only. We do not contact your customers.

What does a sample cost and who pays the courier?

Sample cost and courier cost are confirmed in writing after Prissile reviews your brief. Nothing is dispatched before you have agreed those figures. Cost depends on the garments requested, print method and the delivery address in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.

How long does the sample stage take?

Timing is confirmed against the specific request rather than promised in advance, because printed samples, plain stock samples and courier routes differ. Ask for the dispatch window in writing when you agree the sample cost, and plan your own deadline backwards from that date.
