Jacquard Fabric for a Sportswear Brand in Poland
A Sportswear Brand approached us with a jacquard fabric requirement for the Poland 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 spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack
- MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style
- Shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash
What we specified
| Item | Jacquard Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Sportswear Brand |
| Market | Poland |
| Order volume | 20,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Cotton |
| Standard size | 80 gsm |
| Finish | Antique Copper Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | GRS |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Cotton and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Laser Engraved 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
- 20,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample made from the actual bulk base material. Substitute material behaves differently in finishing.
