Retail - 3 Essential Steps Involved in Garment Inspection


By Bruce Thomsan

Whether you are catering to customers or buyers, this is something you can't compromise with. In order to get the perfection in each and every piece, you need to keep a check on its various aspects- from raw material to quality of stitching, correct measurements, and the final look.

Garment inspection can be a tiring process but by following three easy steps, you can avoid quality issues and chances of rejection that are usually on a higher side. These include- inspection of the raw material, quality check during the production process, and the final assessment.

Quality has always been a matter of concern in the apparel industry. No one buys a product which lacks quality and has defects and this can damage the reputation of a brand forever because more than design, it is the quality of raw materials and final look of the product which matters the most.

Also, many times buyers also reject packed shipments if they find any defects in the merchandise. Understand, when a customer or buyer is buying a product from your brand, he is paying for the satisfaction your brand name offers in terms of style and unmatched quality. So, it is important to follow the best practices to ensure a stringent quality check on apparels and accessories to satisfy customers and buyers and improve your brand image.

Here are 3 essential steps that you can ask your QC department to follow at every stage of the production process.

1. Raw Material Assessment

This is the first stage of production where the raw material needs to be checked thoroughly before the actual process starts. You need a dedicated team of quality checkers who will inspect the fabrics and other raw materials as per the buyer's instructions to avoid the following issues:

Uneven fabric color

Knitting defects

Fabric texture and softness

Holes, stains, and dirt in the fabrics

Defective printing

Defective embroidery
2. Verification During the Production Process

Once the raw material passes the quality check, next step is to verify the following during the production:

Cutting patterns

Measurements of the garments (majorly shoulder length, body width, garment length, sleeve length, neck width, and collar width)

Checking the function of zips, buttons, and other closures

Matching sewing threads

Quality of seams and stitching

Chalk and needle marks

Garment length

Placket length and width

Neck shape and side shape

Trims, labels, and accessories (if any)
3. Final Inspection

The final round of inspection is done when the garments are ready to be packed. This involves:

Packaging and labeling conforming to the legal requirements like fiber content, manufacturer's identity, country of origin, and care instructions

Ensuring there is no shade variation in the garments

Checking stains, dirt, and foul smell

Ensuring finished seams and proper application of accessories

Takeaways
Following this 3-step easy guide will ensure a smooth production process with no chances of rejection. Another option is to look for   global sourcing companies that cut down on your workload of checking each and every garment at all stages, reducing the risk of quality concerns and delivering the best.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
