Rayon Fabric for a Pet Product Brand in Austria
A Pet Product Brand approached us with a rayon fabric requirement for the Austria 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
- A zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
What we specified
| Item | Rayon Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Pet Product Brand |
| Market | Austria |
| Order volume | 100,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 140 gsm |
| Finish | Mercerised Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | Sedex SMETA |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around ABS Resin and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Rainbow Iridescent 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
- 100,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Approve a pre-production sample made from the actual bulk base material. Substitute material behaves differently in finishing.
