Polar Fleece Fabric for an Amazon Private Label Seller in Turkey
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us with a polar fleece fabric requirement for the Turkey 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
- Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
- Shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash
What we specified
| Item | Polar Fleece Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Amazon Private Label Seller |
| Market | Turkey |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Aluminium |
| Standard size | 160 gsm |
| Finish | Powder Coating |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Aluminium and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Sandblasted 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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
Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
