What the Client Needed
Wooly Heros wanted to launch their premium wool dryer balls on Amazon USA. However, the market for standard white dryer balls was extremely price-competitive, dominated by low-cost Chinese suppliers. To stand out, the client envisioned a premium, design-driven alternative: sets of needle-felted dryer balls, with each set inspired by different groups of animals.
They proposed 13 unique animal-themed sets, each designed to add personality, color, and playfulness to the traditional dryer ball concept. This innovative approach required precise color execution and meticulous craftsmanship to bring the animated design files to life.
What We Did
The client provided design files for all 13 sets. Each design contained multiple colors and detailed patterns, which posed two key challenges:
Color Matching – To ensure accuracy, we used the Pantone color system, a global standard for color matching. Over 120 Pantone shades were matched across the 13 sets to ensure the balls reflected the original design concepts with exact precision.
Design Accuracy – Our production team worked on needle-felting techniques to replicate the animated designs onto wool balls. After multiple trials, testing, and refinements, we successfully matched each design to the client’s expectations.
We also established a dedicated Quality Control (QC) team to maintain consistency throughout production. Every ball was inspected for design accuracy, roundness, and weight compliance before moving to the next stage.
Results
The product launch was a success. Wooly Heros gained strong traction on Amazon with their distinctive and premium dryer balls, setting themselves apart from standard competitors. Customers responded positively, leaving excellent reviews that highlighted the creativity and quality of the designs.
Process Details
Once samples and colors were approved, we trained over 100 skilled women artisans to produce the 13 animal sets. Each group of artisans was assigned to one specific design, with a team leader responsible for maintaining accuracy.
The process involved several layers of quality checks:
-
First Level QC – Artisan group leaders reviewed their team’s work, ensuring design accuracy and consistency.
-
Second Level QC – Our internal QC team rechecked every set, assessing design details, ball shape, weight, and durability.
-
Final QC – A third-party inspection company appointed by the client conducted a final round of tests, evaluating aspects such as:
-
Expression and overall appearance
-
Dimensions and weight
-
Color accuracy
-
Odor control
-
Fire resistance and cutting quality
-
Only after approval from the third-party inspectors were the products cleared for shipment.
