Understand the milestones and dependencies that determine a realistic launch schedule.
THE BUYER'S VIEW
ALL GUIDESWork that happens before production
Brief review, formula selection or development, sample rounds, package sourcing, compatibility and other project-specific checks happen before a production slot can be confirmed. Each approval may depend on the result of the previous stage.
What commonly changes the schedule
Custom components, tooling, multiple shades, sample revisions, test results, artwork changes and delayed approvals can extend timing. An available stock platform may simplify some steps, but still requires project review.
Build a schedule backward from launch
Share the desired launch date and destination market early. Agree on decision owners, sample feedback deadlines, testing, component delivery, production and shipping milestones. The final estimate should be specific to your approved brief.
