Snap Button for an Amazon Private Label Seller in India
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us with a snap button requirement for the India 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
- A compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
What we specified
| Item | Snap Button |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Amazon Private Label Seller |
| Market | India |
| Order volume | 100,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | PU Leather |
| Standard size | 10# Gauge |
| Finish | Glossy Enamel Coating |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | EN 71-3 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around PU Leather and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Epoxy Doming 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 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 1.0%.
- 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.
