Case Study: Custom Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining for a Wholesale Distributor in Argentina

Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining for a Wholesale Distributor in Argentina

A Wholesale Distributor approached us with a jacket lining fabric interlining lining requirement for Argentina. 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
• Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Tencel Lyocell and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Dye-Sublimation 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

• 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 4.5% 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

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