This completed and shipped project shows how an Australian beauty brand developed a red mirror-led GWP presentation around an existing mirror structure, a physical PU color approval and a matching cylindrical pouch.
Quantity boundary: the supplied order record lists 3,000 units and states that quantity was counted by individual item. It does not establish 3,000 complete two-item sets, so this case does not present the order as “3,000 sets.”
Verified Project Record
- Status: completed, shipped and accepted
- Date: July 2024
- Market: Australia
- Buyer type: beauty brand
- Program: GWP
- Recorded quantity: 3,000 units, counted by individual item
- Repeat order: none recorded
- Customer identity: anonymized for publication
Mirror Configuration
- Format: semicircular mirror
- Size: 80 × 57 mm
- Construction: red PU exterior with metal hinge and hardware
- Mirror: glass, double-sided, 1X recorded
- Logo: silk-screened on the cover
- Tooling: existing tooling
Existing tooling reduced the need to create a new mirror structure. The project therefore concentrated on the visible PU color, branding and presentation rather than claiming a new-mold development.
Presentation and Packing
The supplied project information identifies one mirror and one matching cylindrical pouch as the two presentation items. No reliable pouch material or dimensions were provided, so this case does not add them. No rigid gift box, inner tray, instructions, barcode or label was recorded.
- Export-carton quantity: 500 recorded units per carton
- Carton dimensions: 51 × 38 × 40 cm
- Gross / net weight: 26 kg / 25 kg
Because the source record counts quantity by individual item, these carton details are reported exactly as supplied and are not converted into a set count.
The Main Development Issue: Approving Red PU
The buyer’s main concern was color consistency. Video could not show the available PU colors accurately enough for a reliable choice against the Pantone direction. Rather than treating the screen image as final approval, physical PU color references were sent to the buyer.
The buyer selected the physical color, and the sample was made to that approved reference. The supplied record identifies one revision round. This sequence kept the decision attached to the real material instead of an uncontrolled phone screen.

Applicable QC and Packing Checks
The applicable checks recorded for this project covered:
- mirror breakage, scratches and visible distortion;
- PU cover surface, cleanliness and color consistency;
- logo color, position and clarity;
- hinge and opening function;
- presence and color of the matching pouch;
- completeness of the intended presentation;
- transport protection;
- outer-carton marks and recorded carton quantity.
Gift-box printing and inner-tray fixation were not applicable because the supplied record does not identify a rigid box or inner tray. No universal inspection percentage or defect-rate claim is made.
Delivery Record
- Sample timing: 15 days recorded
- Bulk production: 30 days recorded
- Transport: sea freight
- Trade term: DDP
- Certificate of origin or other document: none recorded as provided
- Outcome: completed on time and accepted
- Rework, replenishment or complaint: none recorded
These timings and delivery details describe this order only. They are not universal promises for another combination of mirror, accessory, packaging, quantity or destination.
Buyer Lessons From This Program
- Write quantity as both complete sets and individual units when more than one component is involved.
- Use existing tooling when the approved structure already fits the program, then spend development effort on the material, branding and presentation details that remain open.
- Approve textured PU from a physical reference when screen images cannot represent it reliably.
- Do not publish missing accessory specifications simply because an accessory appears in a photograph.
- Record carton data exactly as measured and keep its counting unit explicit.
Evidence Boundary
This case is based on the supplied project record and product photographs. It does not prove 3,000 complete sets, a repeat order, a universal lead time, a universal inspection plan, a defect rate, certification coverage or that a lipstick was included. Customer branding has been removed from the published visuals.
