Puffer Vest Customization Program for Boutique and Independent Labels with Flocking
Puffer Vest Customization Program for Boutique and Independent Labels
This programme covers the full path from a puffer vest concept to repeatable bulk supply for boutique and independent labels. The build starts from everyday-casual references — puffer vest in french terry — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most puffer vest buyers arrive with one of these problems: wholesale costs squeezed the retail margin, or colour faded after a few washes. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

How we produce it
- Tech pack review, fabric confirmation and lab dip approval

- Fit sample and wearer test, then pre-production sign-off
- Bulk cutting with flocking applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 check and packing
Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Puffer Vest reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 3 days each.
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
