First: what should this sample establish?

Choose the sample objective before work begins. If the purpose is size and form, material behaviour, colour and retail packaging may not all need to be locked in that round. If the sample must confirm fit with another component, the interface, adjacent material and intended movement need to be included. Different purposes may need different samples, but one appearance sample should not become evidence for every performance or production conclusion.

Write one clear sentence for each round, for example: “Confirm the hand position, fit with the cap component and fit inside the retail pack.” Reviewers then know what to examine and what remains for later.

Second: which changes affect the next round?

Colour, logo, texture, interfaces and packaging can all trigger revisions. A more workable approach is to group them into three categories: fixed in this round, options being compared, and still undecided. Every comment should say what changed from the previous version. That keeps teams from discussing the same point with different photos or samples in mind.

Third: how does the sample lead to production approval?

Once form, assembly or intended movement is provisionally confirmed, specify what the next round needs to add: final packaging, a colour reference, logo placement or fit with adjacent parts. A final decision should connect to a version, photos or retained sample rather than a verbal “looks good.” That creates a shared basis for quotation, production planning and later support.
