Sportswear Quality Control Checklist

What buyers should agree with a manufacturer before bulk production ships.

Sportswear Quality Control Checklist — EQUEST GEAR custom sportswear manufacturing

Agree the standard before cutting

Quality control only works if the approved sample is the reference. Measurements, color, artwork and labels should be frozen. Verbal “make it like last year” is not a standard.

In-line checks

EQUEST GEAR includes quality inspection before packing as a standard manufacturing step. Additional inspection rules can be requested in the order documents.

  • Fabric and color against the approved reference
  • Print registration on panels before sewing
  • Stitch formation and seam security
  • Measurement against the size chart
  • Names, numbers and logos against the roster/artwork
  • Labels and packing

What we do not claim

This website does not publish fake defect-rate statistics, fake certifications or fake awards. Inspection criteria for your order are those written in the quotation and purchase terms.

On receipt

Buyers should check cartons against the packing list on arrival and report issues according to the terms of the order. Photograph issues before garments are issued to players.
