Prepare a useful material brief
Begin with the finished product and intended market. Add the composition target, species and color preferences, fill power protocol and expected quantity when known. You do not need to solve every technical question before requesting a discussion.
Sampling is an approval step, not proof that every future lot will perform identically. Agree acceptance criteria and documentation for ongoing supply as well as for the first sample.
Ordering and free samples
CIRCUDOWN has no minimum order quantity. Material samples are free; the customer pays shipping. We supply to customer-specified requirements, with the specification, test standard, price and lead time confirmed for each order. Send your brief through Request a Quote or email info@circudown.com.
Questions, answered.
Can recycled down be goose or duck down?
Yes. Species and any blend requirements should be specified and verified separately from recycled origin.
Does recycled down contain feathers?
It can. The declared composition and relevant test definitions determine the down and feather components.
Does recycled down have a fixed fill power?
No. Fill power depends on the material and test protocol. Request a lot-specific result with units and conditioning.
Are all CIRCUDOWN products GRS certified?
No blanket claim is made. GRS-certified options are subject to product, order and transaction scope confirmation.
Can I specify a destination-market standard?
CIRCUDOWN supports multiple standards. Supply the exact method, edition and acceptance criteria for review.
Are MOQ and lead time fixed?
There is no minimum order quantity. Lead time is confirmed for each order based on its specification, quantity and delivery requirements.
Are material samples free?
Yes. Material samples are free, with shipping paid by the customer. Contact info@circudown.com or use Request a Quote to arrange samples.
Is a fill-power report a warmth rating?
No. A finished product’s warmth also depends on fill weight, construction and use conditions.
What should I test in a sample?
Check material composition and agreed laboratory requirements, then assess a prototype using the intended shell and construction.
