Production Route 01

Handmade Press-On Nails for Design-Led Brands

The quick answer

Judge handmade work on the sample.

Hand-finished art can be worth discussing when placement, raised detail or surface treatment is central to your collection. Agree which details must match and what level of variation is acceptable before you approve production.

Ask for the nail sizes, profile, decoration height, edge finish and complete set contents to be checked on the physical sample. Minimum quantity, sample fees and timing depend on the chosen design and packaging. Compare the machine-made route if repeat consistency is your main priority.

Two Production Routes

Match the Route to Your Brief

Compare the route against the artwork, finish, target quantity and repeat-order needs in your brief. A photo alone does not establish how a set was made.

Why Go Handmade

Details to Review on a Handmade Sample

Hand-finished work is best evaluated on the actual nail and pack-out, not only in a reference image.

3D Art & Embellishments

Discuss raised art, charms or gems for the selected design. Check placement, height and durability on the sample.

Hand-Painted Detail

Identify the lines, motifs and colour placement that matter most. Agree acceptable variation before approving a run.

Chrome, Cat-Eye & Glitter

Compare the requested effect under consistent lighting and confirm which finishes are feasible for the chosen design.

Order Scope

Ask about sample availability, cost and the order quantity for your selected design and packaging.

How It Works

Four Checks for a Handmade Project

Use the sample and written specification to make your expectations clear.

Send your own or authorized reference images, brand context and sizing requirements. Mark essential art details and open decisions.
Ask which details can be made by hand and confirm the applicable minimum, sample scope, cost and timing for the selected design.
Check decoration placement, surface finish, nail fit and set contents. Record any revisions and retain the approved sample.
Confirm production scope, agreed inspection points, packaging and destination in writing before placing the order.
