## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
Anonymised project notes: a South American home-fragrance brand briefed a five-SKU monochrome glass family with four Pantone references, a 2,000-piece quantity and a three-week ask. How components were routed to partner factories, colour-matched in one run, re-sized (350 ml pump, larger sprayer) and moved to paid samples.

A South American premium home-fragrance brand found Vella through an AI answer engine and sent a complete brief: two candle jars, a reed diffuser, a room spray, a hand-soap pump and matching boxes, all in one matte Pantone tone, about 2,000 pieces, wanted in three weeks. These are the project notes from scoping through the sample-payment step — what was specified, what was quoted, and where the brief changed.

A five-SKU home-fragrance family — 220 g and 500 g candle jars, 200 ml diffuser, 100 ml spray, 300 ml soap pump plus rigid and folding boxes — was scoped at ~2,000 pieces per SKU against four brand-supplied Pantone references (Warm Gray 1C, 7528C, 5425C, 432C). Glass, closures, spray decoration and boxes were routed to different partner factories and colour-matched in one coordinated matte-spray run . The three-week ask was replaced by an honest 7–10 days for sprayed samples plus 25–35 days production ; a stock glass family with black standard closures later brought the post-approval lead time to 15–18 days . Status: sampling stage, courier address received, sample and courier invoice raised.

The enquiry arrived through the contact form with a reference board attached. The brand already had a fragrance filler; it wanted empty packaging only — glass, pumps, caps and boxes — and a long-term partner rather than a one-off order. The board showed a single design language across every piece: straight-walled, no shoulder, the same diameter at different heights, black hardware throughout, full-body matte colour with two lines of screen print and a small hot-stamped mark on the base.

The brand supplied its own Pantone references — Warm Gray 1C (bone), 7528C (sand), 5425C (dusty blue) and 432C (charcoal) — which removes most of the colour-development loop. It wrote the quantity as 2,000 without saying per SKU or across the collection, which at five SKUs is the difference between 10,000 pieces and 400 per item; that was the first question back, with the three-week timeline the second.

The spec was written component by component, because no single factory makes candle glass, diffuser glass, a fine-mist pump, a lotion pump and a rigid box. The route — one glass family, black stock closures, one spray house — is what keeps the family reading as one colour under retail light.
