Source switching beyond this point in development is NOT acceptable.

Matrix CFA conducts inline and final inspection

SIZE SETSSIZE SETS

All sizes to be submitted unless otherwise advised by the technologisttechnologist

Size sets must be measured at source and discrepancies logged

d h k d i t ttand checked against patterns

Measurement log must be attached to Size Set samples sent to pUMBRO.

Size set samples can be made in available colour fabricavailable colour fabric.

Matrix CFA – 100% inspection / approval

Matrix to send a reference size set to Nike API

SEALING SAMPLES SEALING SAMPLES

Sealing samples must be produced prior to any cutting of bulk

Sealing samples to be submitted in bulk fabrics / trims and be packaged as bulk production

A minimum of 4 sealing samples is required, across the colours, to be submitted in the following sizes:

SEALING SAMPLESSEALING SAMPLES

All colourways to be submitted for final seal approval

Failure to adhere to this may result in incorrect bulk productionFailure to adhere to this may result in incorrect bulk production and risk of stock rejection.

Garments must be an exact representation of bulk production. p p

WEARER TRIAL SAMPLES WEARER TRIAL SAMPLES

These can be requested at any stage of the UMBRO Sealing process.

Wear trail garments to be correct fabric and trims if available.Wear trail garments to be correct fabric and trims if available.

Results of Wearer Trials will be documented and are available for suppliers upon request.
