End-to-End Sourcing Solutions
Our 6-Stage Quality Control Process
We follow a rigorous, layered inspection process that begins at the yarn and continues all the way to the carton.
Raw Material Inspection
All fabrics, trims, and accessories are tested for: GSM, shrinkage, and dimensional stability Colorfastness (wet/dry rubbing, washing, perspiration) Fabric defects (weaving flaws, dye inconsistencies) Eco-compliance (AZO-free, lead-free, REACH standards) Result: Defects are caught before production begins, reducing rework and ensuring consistency
Lab Testing (Pre-Production)
We coordinate lab testing (internally or via third-party labs) for: Fiber content validation Physical and mechanical tests (pilling, seam strength, bursting strength) Chemical testing (formaldehyde, heavy metals, banned substances) Specialized needs like CPSIA, REACH, GOTS standards Result: You meet compliance standards for global markets-EU, US, UK, and more.
Pre-Production Approval
Before bulk production, we finalize: Fit and size set confirmation Color and print strike-offs Embroidery, trims, labels, and packaging approvals PP sample approval with buyer signature/confirmation Result: Eliminates miscommunication and ensures design intent is locked before scale-up.
Inline Production Checks
Our QC team conducts inline audits at multiple stages: Cutting stage: Pattern check, fabric orientation, and wastage Stitching stage: Seam quality, SPI count, thread tension, and measurement Finishing stage: Cleanliness, ironing, labeling, accessories placement Inline inspections catch systemic issues early, reducing rework time and production delays.
Final Inspection - AQL Standard
Once production is complete, we perform a final AQL-based inspection using internationally accepted sampling methods (AQL 2.5/4.0 or per buyer request). Key checks include: Construction quality Style and measurement accuracy Labeling and hangtag placement Stain checks and presentation Quantity and packaging accuracy Carton inspection and drop test (on request) Result: 100% ready-to-ship assurance, with photographic evidence and detailed reports.
Client Reporting & Documentation
Every inspection is backed by documentation: QA checklists Photos of defects (if any) Corrective action reports Signed inspection logs Buyer review and approval trails This gives our clients full transparency and traceability before goods leave the factory.
Certified QA Team & Systems
Our internal QA team is trained under globally accepted quality frameworks. Each inspector is: AQL and ISO-compliance trained Well-versed in fabric and construction details Factory-rotation experienced Equipped with handheld devices for real-time reporting We also work with third-party audit agencies (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) when required by clients or country regulations.
