English translation: deliver/send samples to the customer

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:bemustern
English translation:deliver/send samples to the customer

German term or phrase: bemustern
Marketing text for a manufacturer of injection-moulded rubber parts. Does the following "bemustern" mean that they provide the clients with samples?

Or does it mean to deliver the finished products? I don't think so, because I think they have to develop specific moulds and tools for a new product, and first check this with the customer before it goes into mass production. But I'm a little unsettled by this word "bemustern".

Thanks for your help.
