Taffeta Fabric for a Baby Product Brand in Singapore
A Baby Product Brand approached us with a taffeta fabric requirement for the Singapore 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
- Shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- Shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot
What we specified
| Item | Taffeta Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Baby Product Brand |
| Market | Singapore |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Iron |
| Standard size | 360 gsm |
| Finish | Laser Engraved Finish |
| 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 Iron and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Epoxy Doming 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 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
Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
