Case Study: Custom Purple Girls Swimsuit for a Promotional Products Company in the United States
Purple Girls Swimsuit for a Promotional Products Company in the United States
A Promotional Products Company approached us with a purple girls swimsuit requirement for the United States. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified
| Product | Purple Girls Swimsuit |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Promotional Products Company |
| Market | the United States |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Faux Leather PU |
| Decoration | Pantone Color Matching |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Faux Leather PU and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Pantone Color Matching 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
- 800 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 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.
