Process
Brief to container
A Designs 4 Life program runs in seven steps: brief, engineering, a sample in 3 to 4 weeks, your approval, 60 to 90 days of production, inspection and labelling of every unit, and container loading.

Brief
Your photos, drawings, dimensions, specifications or reference sample, plus quantities, market and timeline.
- 2Days
Engineering and development
Our design and engineering teams translate the brief for production.

Process questions
How long does sample development take?
Sample development takes 3 to 4 weeks from a confirmed brief.
What is the production lead time?
Production lead time is 60 to 90 days after sample approval.
How do you control quality?
Our own people on the ground oversee every stage, from first sample to final container, and a dedicated quality control team inspects every unit before it is cartoned, labelled to customer specification and loaded.
What do you need from me to start?
Photos, drawings, dimensions, specifications or a reference sample. Our design and engineering teams work alongside production to turn your brief into a sample that meets your requirements before a single unit is built.
