Mesh Fabric for a Denim Manufacturer in Argentina
A Denim Manufacturer approached us with a mesh fabric requirement for the Argentina 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 zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
- A spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
What we specified
| Item | Mesh Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Denim Manufacturer |
| Market | Argentina |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Nylon |
| Standard size | 320 gsm |
| Finish | Antique Copper Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 4 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | EN 71-3 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Nylon and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Gunmetal 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-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
Keep one accountable owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
