Sleeping Bonnet for a Marketing Agency in Qatar
A Marketing Agency approached us with a sleeping bonnet requirement for Qatar. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Sleeping Bonnet |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Marketing Agency |
| Market | Qatar |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Eyelet |
| Decoration | Foil Printing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Eyelet 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
