Textile Inspection

Textile inspections prevent the substitution of raw materials and ensure that bulk shipments match approved samples; they identify visual defects-such as color discrepancies, damage, and poor stitching-and verify dimensional specifications. Inspections also incorporate laboratory testing to mitigate performance risks (e.g., color fastness and shrinkage) and verify that labeling complies with import regulations. By preventing mass quality issues that could lead to exorbitant return shipping costs after arrival overseas, inspection records serve as a basis for resolving quality disputes between suppliers and buyers, thereby safeguarding the interests of overseas purchasers.

1. Visual Inspection
Stains, holes, pulled threads, color specks, color shading, skew (weft distortion), skipped stitches, print misalignment, and poor stitching quality.
2. Dimensional Measurement
Garment dimensions, fabric width, and fabric weight; verification against tolerance limits.
3. Workmanship Check
Stitch security, overlocking, and the quality of zipper, button, and elastic band attachment.
4. On-site Basic Functional Testing
Simple rub test for color fastness, fabric stretch, and assessment of skew/weft distortion.
5. Label and Marking Verification
Accuracy of care labels, composition labels, size labels, and hangtags.
6. Packaging Inspection
Polybag usage and packing method; checks to prevent soiling or wrinkling during transport.
