Seat Belt Webbing for a Yacht Interior Studio in Colombia
A Yacht Interior Studio approached us with a seat belt webbing requirement for the Colombia 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
- MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style
- Lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process
What we specified
| Item | Seat Belt Webbing |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Yacht Interior Studio |
| Market | Colombia |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 3 specifications |
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 3# Gauge |
| Finish | UV Printing |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | RoHS |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around ABS Resin and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Sandblasted 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Approve a pre-production sample made from the actual bulk base material. Substitute material behaves differently in finishing.
