Quality control starts with the approved configuration, not only at final inspection. Buyers should connect the selected sample, material references, carton plan, labels, and agreed inspection points to one order file before production is released.
QC evidence for repeat and project orders
| Control stage | Buyer decision supported | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Sample approval | Whether the selected model is suitable for the channel | Photos, dimensions, material reference, and agreed observations |
| Pre-compression review | Whether the order matches the approved product reference | Model and appearance checks before packing |
| Packaging review | Whether cartons meet the agreed handling approach | Carton dimensions, labels, and packing photos |
| Shipment release | Whether quantity and SKU mix match the order | Packing list and loading record where requested |
Keep first-order learning usable for the next order
For retail, distribution, and project programs, capture any approved adjustment after the first sample or shipment in the same reference file. This includes material changes, carton changes, labeling, and receiving feedback. It gives later orders a controlled baseline instead of reopening every decision from scratch.
