Toddler Children Pajama for a Manufacturing Plant in Kenya
A Manufacturing Plant approached us with a toddler children pajama requirement for Kenya. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Toddler Children Pajama |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Manufacturing Plant |
| Market | Kenya |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Lambswool |
| Decoration | Puff Printing |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Lambswool and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Puff 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 12-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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
