Case Study: Custom Two-Tone Flip Sequins for a Professional Sports Club in Russia

Two-Tone Flip Sequins for a Professional Sports Club in Russia

A Professional Sports Club approached us with a two-tone flip sequins requirement for Russia. 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

• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
• Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
• 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 Flame-Retardant Fabric and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Rhinestone Application 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

• 1,200 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.
