Quality, testing & compliance (we manage, you approve)

  • Systems: ISO 9001/14001/45001; WRAP/BSCI/SEDEX/SMETA/SA8000-capable partners.
  • Chemical & RSL: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ZDHC MRSL aligned; azo-free, low formaldehyde; phthalate-free prints.
  • Performance tests (AATCC/ISO): colour fastness (wash/rub/light), dimensional change & spirality, pilling/bursting/tensile/seam slippage, crocking, skew, water repellency/HH for performance lines.
  • Kidswear safety: CPSIA (lead/phthalates), EN 14682 cords & drawstrings, small-parts/needle policy.
  • AQL: Pre-shipment inspections at AQL 2.5/4.0; 100% checks on size/label/needle.

Sustainability

  • GOTS/OCS (organic), GRS/RCS (recycled), BCI cotton where available; Higg FEM/FSLM reporting; water/energy KPIs, ETP/ZLD; low-impact dyes; ozone/laser denim; plastic-lite packs (recycled/recyclable poly, FSC® paper).

Packaging & logistics

  • Fold/size map, metal detection/needle logs, humidity control where needed, carton ECT/BCT engineered for route-to-market, barcode & poly specs to retailer/market rules; cross-factory consolidation with unified QC.

Our sourcing workflow (apparel edition)

  1. Brief & NDA – line list, size runs, target prices, markets/retailer manuals, RSL.
  2. Factory shortlist – capacity/audit matrix; risk & lead-time plan.
  3. Samples – 3D/physical proto → fit → PPS; test plan agreed.
  4. Pilot – size-set & wash/colour approval; packaging trial.
  5. Bulk & QC – in-line QA, measurement audits, AQL, lab tests; needle/metal check.
  6. Ship – pack plan, loading supervision, documents & insurance.

Risk controls we enforce

  • Shrinkage/spirality controls (pre-wash & relax, fabric QA); shade lot mapping and ΔE gates.
  • Wash reproducibility for denim/garment dye (recipe lock & panels).
  • Needle/metal policy with calibrated detectors; broken-needle SOPs.
  • Label & care compliance to US/EU/UK/GCC; fiber content & RN/CA as needed.
  • Spec discipline: graded measurement charts with tolerance bands; rework gates.

Documentation you receive

Lab test reports (AATCC/ISO/CPSIA), RSL declarations & ZDHC conformance (where applicable), audit snapshots, PP approval, size/measurement reports, packing spec & carton map, high-res QC photos/video, loading report, insurance & origin docs.

Case snapshots (illustrative)

Micro-FAQ

  • Can I mix SKUs in one container? Yes—plant policy permitting; we also consolidate cross-factory.
  • Private label manuals? We align to retailer tech packs (measurements, test & packing).
  • 3D sampling only? Yes—use 3D for first pass to cut time/cost, then physical PPS before bulk.
  • RSL proofs? Third-party lab testing + chemical declarations as per your market.
