Short Sleeve Women T Shirts for a Government Agency in Chile
A Government Agency approached us with a short sleeve women t shirts requirement for Chile. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Short Sleeve Women T Shirts |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Government Agency |
| Market | Chile |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Ring-Spun Cotton |
| Decoration | Debossing |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Ring-Spun Cotton and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Debossing 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- 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.
