Development notes for Colour-Block Open-Back Sports Bra
Questions that belong to this library block — fabric, construction and programme gates. Factory identity stays on the manufacturer desks, not on every SKU.
Construction
Are the cups removable, and can we drop padding?
Most library bras use a pocketed or fixed pad map written on the block. Removable pads, shelf-only, or a denser shock cup are proto options. Dropping pads on a plunge or open-back can change opacity — we check that on the lightest colour before PPS.
Does an open back change the bra map or strap hardware?
Yes. Open-back and cross-back blocks move load into the strap and shelf. We confirm strap width, slider type and bust containment on proto — a racer conversion is a new strap map, not a line-side snip.
Fabric & marks
Is AirTouch™ 195 heavy enough for this silhouette?
Sports Bra sits on AirTouch™ 195 — Cool-touch Nylon / Lycra® · 190–200 g/m². AirTouch™ is the cooler, lighter yoga path. If Cream Apricot must stay squat-proof, we check opacity on that dye lot at proto; some programmes move the same block onto PowerForm™ 215 rather than inventing a mid-weight.
Which logo methods work on this fabric?
Heat-transfer, silicone, woven labels and custom hangtags available. Artwork under NDA; placement confirmed at PPS. On AirTouch™ 195, large chest transfers on high-stretch panels are sampled before bulk — cracking shows at the squat or serve gate. Artwork under NDA; placement confirmed on PPS, not on a moodboard.
Programme gates
What changes affect the MOQ on this style?
Standard garment MOQ stays 150 pcs per style per colour. Selected library trial from 100 is not automatic — fabric availability and this construction must clear first. What does move the number: extra colourways, exclusive mill dye, a new cup/liner map, or a custom fabric (typically 500–1300 m+ / colour). Petite/tall lengths add markers, not a second MOQ, unless they become a separate style code.
How is opacity checked before bulk?
On the lightest approved colourway: dry stretch, then a squat / raise-arm photo against a dark underlayer. Swim adds a wet check. We record the result on the proto sheet — not as a marketing adjective. If AirTouch™ 195 fails on Cream Apricot, we change colour, lining or base; we do not ‘print it darker’.
