Client Background
For a home styling retailer from Switzerland that had expanded its product offering of decorative items for furniture stores and boutique interior shops, the purchase project for table vase import was carefully considered. The client was looking for a reliable supplier that could offer unique designs, a stable delivery, and consistent quality for seasonal collections.
Mosteb, a professional table vase factory, worked with retailer to create a custom-made glass table vase collection. The final design featured a clear oval shaped vase with a textured soft wave around the body, a small aperture for the single stem flower and a reinforced flat base of the vase.
It was decided that the wave texture would be used to enable light to reflect in a dynamic manner under indoor lighting conditions, allowing the product to stand out on the retail shelves without the need of complicated finishing processes. The small opening facilitated the positioning of decorative branches and small flowers, and the strengthened base ensured stability when handling daily.
We have advantages of direct factory production, flexible customization support, reliable quality management, experience project handling, etc., which were suitable for Mosteb’s requirements; the client selected us.
Challenge
- Finding a balance between unique design and production feasibility: The client was seeking to create table vases with a unique design that would be able to stand out from the ordinary designs available in the market. Some past suppliers, however, offered complicated configurations which raised the mould manufacturing costs and production risk, and were not easily applicable to large volume purchases.
- Reducing damage risks during international transportation: Safe shipment from Asia to Europe was of paramount importance since the vases had to be transported. To prevent cracks or breakage, the packaging protection of fragile glass products were found to be inadequate in previous sourcing experiences, and the carton structures were unstable.
Solution
Mosteb has customized a complete manufacturing solution around design optimization and transportation reliability.
- Optimized surface texture design for a premium look with effective production time
- Optimized mold design for superior quality for mass production
- Optimized thickness distribution of the glass for reinforcement of vulnerable areas
- Packaged the flowers in special vases with separate compartments to 7,000 cans of flowers each day
- Introduced several quality control checks prior to shipment
Result
Delivering customized table vases with consistent looks and high structure quality is achieved. The client had a lesser problem with transportation and was able to start the collection as scheduled for the retail outlet.
The initial order was successful, and the Swiss retailer went on to order more vases of various shapes and sizes and for different seasons from Mosteb.
How We Did It
- Design Consultation: Mosteb collaborated with the client to garner insights into their desired target customers, retail environments and design styles. The design we suggested was a wave texture on the glass, so it would have a pleasing appearance while still being able to be mass produced.
- Engineering Review: The engineering team conducted a series of product structure, mold requirements, glass thickness, and production efficiency tests. Modifications were made to increase durability without altering the original design concept.
- Sampling: We did a number of samples to test before production. The client checked the shape of the vase, the texture effect, stability and the packaging performance before approving the final shape.
- Production: Mosteb kept a tight grip on all stages of manufacturing – from mold forming to glass inspection, surface checking, dimension measuring to the final inspection of the package – to guarantee uniformity during production.
