Questions buyers ask before sampling.
Can a manufacturer use a brand’s own tartan artwork?
Yes. Customer-owned artwork can be reviewed for repeat, colour, scale and cutting direction. Rights to commercial use remain the buyer’s responsibility.
Can bags and wallets use the same approved tartan?
Yes, although the repeat scale and panel placement may need separate approval for each product size.
What information is needed for an OEM quotation?
Provide the product type, dimensions, artwork, material direction, logo, functions, packaging, target quantity, market and delivery requirement. Final terms follow feasibility review.
