Joma Training Wear for a Fast-Growing Startup Label in Canada
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us with a joma training wear requirement for Canada. 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 | Joma Training Wear |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Fast-Growing Startup Label |
| Market | Canada |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Quick-Dry Polyester |
| Decoration | Pantone Color Matching |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Quick-Dry Polyester and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Pantone Color Matching 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
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 10-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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
