Case Study: Custom Grip Sports Gloves for a Promotional Products Company in Peru

Grip Sports Gloves for a Promotional Products Company in Peru

A Promotional Products Company approached us with a grip sports gloves requirement for Peru. 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

• Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
• Long lead times that miss the selling season

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Bamboo Cotton Blend and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Chain Stitch Embroidery after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result

• 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
• Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.0%.
• 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.
