Case Study: Custom Protective Clothing Factory Dress With Ppe for a Kidswear Subscription Box in Brazil

Protective Clothing Factory Dress With Ppe for a Kidswear Subscription Box in Brazil

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us with a protective clothing factory dress with ppe requirement for Brazil. 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
• Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
• No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Corduroy and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Padding and Wadding 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

• 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% 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

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