Printed Label for a Lingerie Specialist in Israel
A Lingerie Specialist approached us with a printed label requirement for the Israel 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
- MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style
- An interlining that bubbled after the first press
- A zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse
What we specified
| Item | Printed Label |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Lingerie Specialist |
| Market | Israel |
| Order volume | 100,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | Acrylic |
| Standard size | 32 mm Width |
| Finish | Enzyme Wash Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | REACH SVHC Screening |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Acrylic 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
- 100,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-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
Lock the material standard before sampling. Once the base changes, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
