Anti-Static Fabric for a Baby Product Brand in the United States
A Baby Product Brand approached us with a anti-static fabric requirement for the the United States 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
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
What we specified
| Item | Anti-Static Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Baby Product Brand |
| Market | the United States |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 6 specifications |
| Base material | Brass |
| Standard size | 450 gsm |
| Finish | Antique Copper Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | EN 71-3 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Brass and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Powder 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
