Client Challenge
A national retail chain needed a coordinated Halloween balloon and tableware collection across six SKUs with consistent color matching, individual barcodes, shelf-ready packaging, and guaranteed delivery before their September seasonal set date.
Why Joyline
Single-factory coordination of balloons and paper tableware eliminated the color-matching risk of split-supplier programs. Our private label packaging capability handled the retailer's specific barcode, carton mark, and compliance documentation requirements.
Solution
Produced 6 coordinated SKUs: 2 balloon types (latex in 3 Halloween colors and pumpkin foil) + 4 tableware items (plates, cups, napkins in 2 sizes). Pantone-matched orange, black, and purple across latex and PE-coated paper. Applied retailer-specific UPC barcodes, shelf-ready header cards with hang holes, and master cartons configured for retail DC delivery. Pre-shipment inspection per AQL 2.5 on all SKUs.
Results
All six SKUs delivered to retailer DC 12 days before seasonal set date. Color consistency approved across latex and paper products. Replenishment order placed for following season with updated designs.
