Textile & Garment Inspection

Our experienced inspectors evaluate every aspect of garment production — from raw material quality and cutting accuracy to sewing workmanship, finishing, and packaging. We check for visual defects, measurement conformity, labeling accuracy, and functional performance of zippers, buttons, and other accessories.

Whether you import casual wear, workwear, sportswear, or haute couture, our inspection services help you ship with confidence. We follow AQL sampling standards and deliver detailed photo-documented reports within 24 hours.

What We See in Textiles: Insights From the Factory Floor

Across thousands of textile inspections each year, our data reveals consistent patterns. Stitching defects — loose threads, skipped stitches, and uneven seam allowances — account for roughly 35% of all major findings. Measurement deviations from approved spec sheets follow at around 25%, particularly in size runs where grading errors compound across sizes. Fabric-level issues such as shading, pilling, and weight variations make up another 20%, with the remainder split between labeling errors and functional failures (zippers, buttons, snaps).

Pass rates vary significantly by product category and sourcing region. Casual knitwear from established suppliers in China and Bangladesh typically achieves 85–90% first-pass rates under AQL 2.5, while complex outerwear and tailored garments often fall to 70–75%. We observe strong seasonal patterns: defect rates spike during peak production months (August–October) when factories run at maximum capacity and rely heavily on temporary labor.

Compliance with international standards is non-negotiable for market access. Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification is increasingly demanded by European retailers for chemical safety assurance. AATCC test methods remain the benchmark for colorfastness and wash performance in North America, while REACH regulation governs restricted substances for any product entering the EU market. Our inspectors verify compliance with these frameworks as part of every textile inspection.

Our textile & garment inspection services are available through pre-shipment inspection, during production inspection, factory audit. We cover major manufacturing regions including China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, and 30+ other countries.
