Case Study: Custom Curtain Lining Interlining Lining for a Wholesale Distributor in Poland

Curtain Lining Interlining Lining for a Wholesale Distributor in Poland

A Wholesale Distributor approached us with a curtain lining interlining lining requirement for Poland. 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
• No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
• Long lead times that miss the selling season

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Antibacterial Knit and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Foil 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

• 8,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-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

Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
