Case Study: Custom Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining for a Restaurant Chain in the United Arab Emirates
Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining for a Restaurant Chain in the United Arab Emirates
A Restaurant Chain approached us with a jacket lining fabric interlining lining requirement for the United Arab Emirates. 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
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs

What we specified
| Product | Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Restaurant Chain |
| Market | the United Arab Emirates |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Brushed Fleece |
| Decoration | Foil 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 Brushed Fleece and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Foil 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
- 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% 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
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
