Can I order samples before committing to larger quantities?

Last updated: 2026-04-09

Absolutely — Makelab encourages sample orders before production runs.

Why Order Samples First:

Sample Order Process:

  1. Order 1-3 sample parts through our standard quoting process

  2. Test and evaluate the samples

  3. Request design modifications if needed

  4. Once approved, proceed with larger quantity order

Production Pricing After Samples:

Once you've validated your design with samples and are ready for production quantities (10+ parts), ask about volume discounts during your production quote.

Material Testing:

If you're unsure which material is right for your application, we recommend ordering samples in 2-3 different materials to compare performance.

Sample Timeline:

Samples follow the same production timeline as regular orders. For faster turnaround, ask about rush service for your sample parts.
