Case Study: Custom UV Protection Fabric for a Medical Textile Buyer in Peru

UV Protection Fabric for a Medical Textile Buyer in Peru

A Medical Textile Buyer approached us with a uv protection fabric requirement for the Peru 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
• Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
• An interlining that bubbled after the first press

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the specification around Stainless Steel and locked the tolerance before bulk.
2. The finish was moved to Laser Engraved Finish after strike-off tests showed better durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.

Result

• 10,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
• Inspection-related rejection stayed under 2.0%.
• 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.
