Sampling Request Classification & Fee Structure
ArielMC operates three distinct sampling tiers designed to protect master factory tooling resources while granting frictionless evaluation for genuine institutional buyers:
Ready Catalog Showroom Samples (Off-the-Shelf)
Standard SKUs from our current product roadmaps without structural modification (e.g. JD-EDC-16 Market Tote, LD-EDC-1 Embroidered Commuter Tote). Invoiced at nominal unit wholesale price (or complimentary up to 2 units for verified corporate accounts). Express courier freight paid by buyer or billed to corporate DHL/FedEx account.
Custom OEM Prototypes & Pre-Production Samples (Tech-Pack Driven)
Custom designs, bespoke dimensions, buyer-specified GSM/tannage, Pantone lab dips, and personalized debossed/foil/screen branding. Fixed development fees cover pattern engineering, material matching, and machine calibration. Dedicated branding tooling (Blind Debossing / Hot Foil Brass Dies at $35–$65, Silk Screen Frames at $25/color) are billed at net factory cost and remain the physical intellectual property of the client, maintained free of charge in Dhaka for repeat re-orders.
All custom tech-packs, CAD drawings, and bespoke dimensional specifications submitted under Tier B remain strictly confidential under bilateral non-disclosure. ArielMC guarantees zero commercial re-use or secondary distribution across third-party accounts.
Corporate Specimen Kits (Strategic Outbound Account Sampling)
