Factory & quality control

Define what will be checked before production starts.

A useful QC plan begins with an approved specification. We align the inspection scope with your product, artwork, packaging, and commercial risk before bulk production.

QC scope is confirmed by project. Do not rely on unverified certification, tolerance, or test claims that are not written into the quotation or approval record.

Control plan

Six checkpoints from artwork to shipment.

The exact checks depend on material, process, packaging, and buyer requirements.

1. File & specification reviewAuthorized artwork, tile count, dimensions, materials, color direction, printing or engraving, accessories, and pack-out.
2. Sample planSample type, review criteria, approval notes, and any differences between the sample and intended production.
3. Incoming material reviewMaterial identity, visible color direction, component count, and project-specific incoming checks.
4. In-process checkpointsArtwork placement, print clarity, engraving, layer bonding, finishing, assembly, and packaging preparation as applicable.
5. Final product reviewAppearance, agreed dimensions, set completeness, accessory count, packaging fit, labels, and carton marks.
6. Shipment releaseFinal evidence, packing configuration, destination information, freight method, and buyer approval where required.
