Textile Inspection: List of Verifications, Testing, and Controls
At Mars Quality, our pre-shipment inspection services for textiles and garments are comprehensive and rigorous, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality and compliance. Our inspection process includes the following critical verifications and tests:
1. Visual Textile Inspection
Fabric Inspection

Stitching Quality
Evaluating the uniformity of stitching, including stitch density, type, and integrity to ensure that seams are secure and consistent.
Finish Evaluation
Checking the overall finishing of garments, including hem finishes, trims, and embellishments for quality and durability.
2. Dimensional and Fit Measurements
Size Specifications
Measuring garments against the size chart provided by the client to ensure adherence to dimensional tolerances.
Tolerance Check
Ensuring that garment dimensions (e.g., chest width, sleeve length) fall within specified tolerances, typically ±0.5 cm for finished garments.
Fit Evaluation
