Tack Button for a Yacht Interior Studio in Israel
A Yacht Interior Studio approached us with a tack button 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
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
- Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
What we specified
| Item | Tack Button |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Yacht Interior Studio |
| Market | Israel |
| Order volume | 50,000 pieces across 4 specifications |
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 5# Gauge |
| Finish | UV Printing |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | ISO 9001 |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around ABS Resin and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Mercerised 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
- 50,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 1.5%.
- 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.
