Inspection gates for size, hand-feel, colour, stitching, packing and lot release.
Each PO locks the approved sample, material, size, closure, packaging and tolerance. During production, deviations are documented before they become shipment problems.
| Spec lock | Approved sample, PO, colour and packaging reference |
|---|---|
| In-production check | Stitching, closure, dye lot and hand-feel review |
| Final inspection | Visual defects, measurements, label placement and count |
| Lot report | Summary photos and issue notes for approved trade buyers |
| Release | Shipment booked only after packing list and QC release align |
| Pillowcases | Size +/- 1.5 cm · closure aligned to approved sample |
|---|---|
| Duvet covers | Size +/- 2 cm · colour within approved dye lot |
| Quilts | Size +/- 3 cm · fill weight +/- 5% |
| Throws | Size +/- 3 cm · handwork variation documented |
| Sheets | Size +/- 2 cm · pocket depth +/- 1 cm |
Wrong size, wrong material, incorrect label, major colour mismatch or packaging that prevents retail sale. These require correction before release.
Visible stitch failure, closure misalignment, stains, significant shade variance or count mismatch. Major issues are documented and resolved before shipment booking.
Small handwork variations, acceptable slub variation and light packaging scuffs within the approved tolerance. These are tracked for future improvement.
