Woven Interlining for a Baby Product Brand in New Zealand
A Baby Product Brand approached us with a woven interlining requirement for the New Zealand 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
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
What we specified
| Item | Woven Interlining |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Baby Product Brand |
| Market | New Zealand |
| Order volume | 50,000 pieces across 4 specifications |
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 32 mm Width |
| Finish | Nickel-Free Electroplating |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | ISO 12947 Abrasion Resistance |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around ABS Resin and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Glossy Enamel Coating 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
- 50,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Keep one accountable owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
