A quality control guide covering common sweater issues such as measurement variance, pilling, color difference, seam quality, shrinkage and packing mistakes. This guide walks you through the manufacturing journey with Licheng Knitwear.
Common sweater quality problems include measurement variance, yarn or color inconsistency, pilling, loose linking, shrinkage, finishing defects, label errors and packing mistakes. These risks can be reduced with clear specs, sample approval and staged quality checkpoints.
Clear size charts, tolerance discussion and sample approval help reduce fit surprises.
Material selection, color review and care expectations should be confirmed before production.
Linking, washing, finishing, label placement and carton marks should be checked before shipment.
