Case Study: Custom Rhinestone Underwear Set for a Hospital Group in Spain

Rhinestone Underwear Set for a Hospital Group in Spain

A Hospital Group approached us with a rhinestone underwear set requirement for Spain. 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

• Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
• No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Merino Wool and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to DTG Digital Printing 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

• 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% 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

Fix the size ratio early. Changing the ratio after cutting starts is the single most expensive change a client can request.
