Corrugated Cardboard Clothing Display Rack: UK Client Collaboration Case Study

This client is based in the UK and specializes in intimate apparel such as underwear, socks, and sweatshirts, as well as casual wear. Designs must comply with PEPR regulations, featuring a minimalist, clean, and functional aesthetic. Eco-friendly materials are required—environmental awareness is notably strong in developed nations, and many international clients we work with prioritize this aspect. Overall, they need to balance cost considerations while enhancing the customer shopping experience, aligning with the brand’s identity, and aiming to boost sales.

Let’s distill the core elements again for clarity:

Collaboration Highlights: Category-specific customization, compliant efficiency, eco-friendly simplicity, precisely addressing intimate apparel display pain points

Let us share this story with you

Initial email contact: Sales rep accurately identified as genuine client

In February 2025, shortly after the Chinese New Year, our online sales representative (Wendy) received an email from a UK address. Drawing on years of experience, she immediately sensed positive potential. First, the email address was a legitimate corporate domain matching the UK IP region. Second, the content demonstrated professional expertise and detailed requirements. The client required eco-friendly materials, urgent delivery, and simple installation for displaying and storing intimate apparel like underwear, socks, and sweatshirts. Specific dimensions were provided: 110cm×50cm×170cm, 70cm×15cm×110cm, and 25cm×18cm×45cm. Without being an actual client, it would be impossible to know such detailed parameters and dimensions. Although the email currently states only a small quantity of display racks is needed, under normal circumstances, a new client is unlikely to place a large order immediately. There is typically a process of collaboration and adjustment before placing substantial orders.

A single drawing speaks louder than a thousand words.

Many international clients dislike wasting time and prefer minimizing communication. While they favor email exchanges, back-and-forth correspondence can be time-consuming. After brief discussions to identify core requirements, we promptly arrange for designers to create custom drawings. Though not yet refined, these rapid drafts sent to clients truly speak volumes, significantly reducing communication overhead. After sending the preliminary drawings and making minor adjustments, we promptly delivered the final design. The client immediately confirmed their intention to place a real order with us.

Free Samples Eliminate Customer Hesitation

Whether for large or small batches, Topwon generally offers free samples, which alleviates many customers’ concerns. This demonstrates our sincerity, and the sample cost is typically deducted from the final order total. Upon receiving the samples, the client expressed satisfaction and promptly initiated formal production.

Formal Production and Delivery

This order involved only a small batch for sampling at one of their stores. After completing formal production, we immediately shipped the order to the client via logistics, including installation videos. The client remarked that the installation was surprisingly simple—not even a screwdriver was needed.

Display racks serve not only as storage but also as promotional tools

From installation through the promotional season, the client calculated that sales efficiency significantly improved compared to using traditional shelving. They promptly provided feedback and placed an order for 1,000 sets to be deployed across multiple stores.

In summary, new customers typically develop gradually. Large orders of thousands or tens of thousands of display units rarely happen overnight. It takes time to build rapport, establish mutual trust, and cultivate loyal customers before bulk orders materialize.
