Belt Clips for a Private Clinic in South Korea
A Private Clinic approached us with a belt clips requirement for South Korea. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
What we specified
| Product | Belt Clips |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Private Clinic |
| Market | South Korea |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Quick-Dry Polyester |
| Decoration | Enzyme Wash |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Quick-Dry Polyester and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Enzyme Wash after strike-off tests showed better wash 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 size ratio specification.
Result
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
