Quality

Five gates. One rule: nothing skips the lab.

Raw material, pre-production, in-process, pack, and dispatch. Every stage is sampled in our in-house lab, and a fail at dispatch holds the entire lot for recheck.

Process table

As the process advances, the standard tightens

Scroll the gates. Each row expands wider, carries more lab checks, and raises the rigor score. By dispatch, release is locked at 100%.

Each gate adds checks on top of the last. By dispatch, the material has survived five independent quality layers.

In-house lab

PP approvals and random checks are run here

Size, elongation, weight per meter, and PPI are measured on every sample. Visual defects are logged. For internal defects, the elastic is dismantled completely so each yarn and rubber strand can be monitored for discrepancies.

The same lab clears inbound raw materials before they are issued onto the floor. Production never starts on untested yarn, rubber, or spandex.

Dimensional & physical

  • Size / width
  • Elongation & recovery
  • Weight per meter
  • PPI (picks per inch)

Surface inspection

  • Visual defects
  • Shade variation
  • Finish consistency
  • Edge / selvedge quality

Internal strand audit

  • Full elastic dismantled
  • Each yarn strand monitored
  • Each rubber / spandex strand checked
  • Discrepancies flagged before release

Pack & dispatch checking

20 checking machines. 2 million meters a day.

Finished rolls are checked before packing, then sampled again at dispatch. We are slowly integrating automatic AI checking machines into this line so coverage keeps rising without slowing throughput.
