These factory material views help organise a sourcing discussion. They do not confirm composition, stock, colour availability or product performance by appearance alone.
Compare physical appearance, hand feel and the intended end use.
Use the material reference to start the discussion; confirm the final production colour physically.
Record the selected material and applicable supporting information against the product brief.
