Pinnable Half Body Mannequin for a Hospital Group in Egypt
A Hospital Group approached us with a pinnable half body mannequin requirement for Egypt. 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
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
What we specified
| Product | Pinnable Half Body Mannequin |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Hospital Group |
| Market | Egypt |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Poplin |
| Decoration | Placement Printing |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Poplin and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Placement Printing 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
