Measurements should be checked against the approved size chart and sample comments. Important points include chest, body length, sleeve length, shoulder width, cuff width and hem width. Buyers should define tolerance before production so both sides understand the inspection standard.
Workmanship checks include knitting defects, linking quality, loose yarn, uneven rib, skipped stitches and visible repairs. Sweaters and cardigans often need careful review around collars, armholes, plackets and cuffs because these areas affect both appearance and fit.
Finishing affects hand feel, shape and final appearance. The inspection should review washing, drying, pressing, odor, surface cleanliness and overall garment shape. If the style uses wool blend yarns, finishing should be reviewed carefully to avoid unexpected shrinkage or distortion.
Private label programs need woven labels, care labels, hangtags, size stickers, buttons, zippers and packaging details checked against buyer approval. A small label mistake can delay shipment, so artwork files and placement should be confirmed before bulk production.
Final QC should include folding method, polybag, size sticker, carton mark and export carton condition. Buyers should provide packing requirements before production starts. This helps the factory prepare materials and reduces last-minute repacking risk.
A clear development flow keeps samples, costing and bulk production aligned before your order moves forward.
