Woven Hang Tag for a Bag and Luggage Maker in Saudi Arabia
A Bag and Luggage Maker approached us with a woven hang tag requirement for the Saudi Arabia market. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive freight and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
- A zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
- Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
What we specified
| Item | Woven Hang Tag |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bag and Luggage Maker |
| Market | Saudi Arabia |
| Order volume | 10,000 pieces across 4 specifications |
| Base material | Acrylic |
| Standard size | 3# Gauge |
| Finish | Rose Gold Plating |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | ISO 14001 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Acrylic and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Anodised Finish after strike-off tests showed better durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.
Result
- 10,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 1.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Keep one accountable owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
