Choose standard or mascot before the material brief.
These are editable concept templates, not finished product specifications. Impact-performance language requires a physical sample and verified test evidence.
From brief to bulk
Four checkpoints for this product.
Brief
Confirm the product, buyer, market and key direction.
Sample
Review the agreed product direction in the appropriate sample route.
Approval
Record agreed revisions before bulk planning.
Bulk
Align quantity, packing and delivery milestones.
Lower-friction physical review
Request a Material & Swatch Pack before a full product sample.
Where suitable materials are available, KSM can quote a compact pack covering relevant shell-fabric weights, Clarino or comparable palm options, liner and mesh directions, and EVA foam samples. Exact contents, fee, freight and any later order-credit treatment are confirmed in writing for the actual project.
Commercial & compliance clarity
Know what is fixed—and what must be reviewed for your project.
MOQ, pricing, timing and compliance cannot be stated accurately without the product route, quantity, target market and customization scope.
Quote against the real configuration
Share an estimated quantity. KSM will confirm the workable minimum and quotation for the selected product, materials and customization route.
State required standards early
For protective equipment, include the destination market and any required test or certification standard. No blanket certification claim is made across all categories.
Match documents to the order
Confirm the specification, physical sample, inspection requirements and available supporting documents before bulk release.
Buyer questions
Before you start an inquiry.
Are these finished KSM products?
No. These are concept molds used to prepare a brief. Final shape, materials, dimensions and construction require a physical sample.
What should be supplied for a mascot version?
Provide authorized character artwork, target blade or skate sizes, colors, logo requirements, quantity, market and packaging direction.
Can impact or protection claims be published?
Only after the relevant construction and claim are supported by verified test documentation. The concept template itself does not prove performance.
