Corporate Gift QC Checklist: What to Inspect Before Delivery
The premium is something that the logo and image of the organization are directly attached. A small error can be considered a brand error. Not just the Supplier. Having a clear QC checklist before delivery reduces the problem that is solved when the goods are distributed.
1. Compare with Approved Sample
Reference should be shared by all parties, such as Approved Sample, Artwork and Specification Sheet to use the comparison of reality. It should not be kept in memory or image in chatting primarily because some colors, size and details can be interpreted differently.
2. Check the material Color and Finish
See whether the material is in accordance with the approved. The color is consistent between pieces and the surface is rooted, roses, flows or obvious disorders. Specifically products are metal, acrylic, glass or reflective materials.
3. Check size and shape
Some types of products have tolerance from the production process. What is acceptable should be determined from before manufacturing and randomly measure real size when the product comes. Specifically, the work Uniform, Bag, Packaging and parts must be combined together.
4. Check Branding and Artwork
Logo position, size, color, compound and direction must match the approved Artwork. The painting should see the density of the mark. Screen work, look, lear or break. UV work, look, adhesion and laser work, see the uniformity of the colors generated on the real surface.
5. Check the number and separation variant
If there are multiple colors, multiple sizes or multiple names, the recipient should separate the count according to SKU and re-assemble the score. Only the total quantity check may cause a problem after that, whether some sizes or variants are missing.
6. Check Packaging
Box, bag, card and label must be correct according to the latest version. It should be checked that the product is in the right position. Not stumbled until deformed and packaging resistant to the real way of transport.
7. Check Random Sample from multiple Carton
If a large amount of production is not random from one box. It should be randomly distributed to increase the chance of seeing variations between the lot or production range and record the problem found to assess whether it needs an additional test.
8. Take pictures and record before Dispatch
For key tasks, having a picture of the goods before delivery, packaging sets and carton numbers help be evidence of reference if there are problems between transportation or destination detection.
QC does not translate that it requires 100% perfect each piece.
Many production works may have Tolerance according to material and process. The important thing is to set the Acceptance Criteria, to make it appropriate before production and separate Critical Defect from Minor Variation so that decision is systematic and fair with all parties.
ICORP examines Quality Control for Premium Products and Procurement work by reviewing the agreed scope such as Material, Color, Size, Artwork, Logo Position, Quantity and Packaging before delivery.
