Case Study: Custom Woven Hang Tag for a Sportswear Brand in Israel

Woven Hang Tag for a Sportswear Brand in Israel

A Sportswear Brand approached us with a woven hang tag requirement for the Israel 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
• Shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot
• A compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the specification around Recycled PET and locked the tolerance before bulk.
2. The finish was moved to Antique Brass Plating 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

• 50,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% 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

Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
