Pom Pom Trim for a Baby Product Brand in Czechia
A Baby Product Brand approached us with a pom pom trim requirement for the Czechia 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
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
- Shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot
What we specified
| Item | Pom Pom Trim |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Baby Product Brand |
| Market | Czechia |
| Order volume | 100,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Glass |
| Standard size | 15 mm Width |
| Finish | Anodised Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | CPSIA |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Glass and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Black Nickel 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
- 100,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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
Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
