Toddler Display Form for a Fast-Growing Startup Label in New Zealand
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us with a toddler display form requirement for New Zealand. 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
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
What we specified
| Product | Toddler Display Form |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Fast-Growing Startup Label |
| Market | New Zealand |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Georgette |
| Decoration | Custom Zip Puller |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Georgette and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Custom Zip Puller 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- 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.
