Two-Tone Flip Sequins for a Corporate Procurement Team in Denmark
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us with a two-tone flip sequins requirement for Denmark. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
What we specified
| Product | Two-Tone Flip Sequins |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Corporate Procurement Team |
| Market | Denmark |
| Order volume | 8,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Recycled Nylon |
| Decoration | Glow-in-the-Dark Printing |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Recycled Nylon and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Glow-in-the-Dark 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
- 8,000 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 0.5%.
- 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.
