Some past examples created for international clients.

Are samples interchangeable with prototypes?

NO!

A prototype is the first model created from the design brief, it often needs to be fixed or changed in order to reach the aesthetic quality and functionality imagined by the designer.

The sample or final sample comes after the fine-tuning of the prototype. After the final sample has been made, production can start.

So the product development process goes like this: design brief, prototype, final sample and production.
