Factory audit scope
A factory-audit checklist can cover the documents, capacity indicators and conditions agreed for the visit. The final scope and location are confirmed before booking.
Quality inspection service
Inspect an agreed checklist before dispatch
Share the product criteria, factory location and evidence you need. We define the sampling scope and report requirements before an inspection is booked.
What we coordinate
Support matched to your current order
During-production checks
In-production checks can be scheduled when the order plan, product requirements and supplier access are confirmed.
Pre-shipment inspection
Sampling and checks for workmanship, measurements, functions, labelling and packaging are defined against your approved requirements.
Photo & video reports
Report format, evidence requirements and delivery timing are agreed at booking; do not rely on a generic checklist for product-specific approval.
Defect escalation
When a report identifies an issue, the customer and supplier decide the next step under their commercial agreement. Inspection does not replace supplier liability terms.
Garment-relevant checks
For apparel requests, the agreed checklist can cover stitching, fabric weight (GSM), shrinkage, print durability and other product-specific details.
Packaging & label checks
Carton marks, inner packaging, care labels, barcodes and assortment counts can be checked against the approved packing brief before release.
Inspection evidence plan
Define the report before the visit.
A useful inspection is easier to review when the evidence requirements are agreed in advance. The checklist should connect the product specification to the decision you need to make.
A practical report can record
- Order reference, factory location, inspection date and production stage
- Sample size, measurement method and defect classification used
- Photos or video tied to the checklist item, carton or product sample
- Open issues, supplier response and the buyer decision still required
The process
From product requirements to inspection evidence
- 1
Set the acceptance criteria
We turn your spec into a checklist: measurements, materials, functions, packaging, labelling and your acceptable defect levels.
- 2
Book the agreed checks
The agreed sampling plan, critical checks and evidence format are applied to the product specification and factory access available.
- 3
Use the report to decide
The report records the agreed criteria and observations. The buyer and supplier remain responsible for commercial approval, rework and shipment decisions.
Inspection availability, fees, travel, report timing and any follow-up work are confirmed for the booking. This page does not guarantee a particular outcome.

Product-specific examples
The checklist changes with the product.

Apparel & textiles
Measurements, fabric composition or GSM, stitching, seam appearance, shade consistency, print or embroidery, labels and folding.
Packaging & accessories
Artwork version, logo placement, dimensions, materials, barcode or label details, unit packing and carton assortment.
Home textiles
Finished dimensions, set contents, fabric construction, colour, care labels, closures, packing method and carton count.

Questions to settle before work begins
Do you inspect orders you didn't source?
Inspection-only requests can be considered when the product, factory access, location and acceptance criteria are confirmed. Send the order details and factory contact so availability and booking scope can be reviewed.
What standard do you inspect against?
The sampling plan and acceptance criteria must be agreed for your product. If AQL is requested, the level and defect classifications must be stated in the booking scope rather than assumed from this page.
What happens if the inspection finds an issue?
You receive the agreed evidence. Rework, replacement, discount, hold or onward shipment remain commercial decisions between the buyer and supplier; any follow-up work must be confirmed in writing.
How fast can you book an inspection?
Availability depends on location, inspector capacity, supplier access and required scope. Booking timing is confirmed before the visit.
What should I send before requesting an inspection?
Send the product specification, factory or warehouse location, target inspection date, order quantity, packing details, acceptance criteria and the evidence format you need. Photos, measurement tables and approved samples help turn the request into a workable checklist.
Need help moving a product idea into a clear plan?
Share your product reference, target quantity and current stage. We use the details to clarify the supplier, sample, inspection and shipping support that may fit your request.
The service scope, fee basis and responsibilities are confirmed for the individual request before work begins.
