Quality Control Processes
Discover the meticulous process ensuring unparalleled quality in every Dencowear product. Our commitment to excellence is woven into every step of our quality control process:
1. Fabric Testing:
· We begin with lab dips of fabric directly from our mill.
· No bulk manufacturing until our preferred shade is approved.
· Rigorous checks ensure fabric colour consistency pre-production.
· Labdips and feeler swatches are tested and approved for every new batch.
2. Pattern Testing:
· Full specification, samples, and patterns are provided for each garment.
· Daily communication and regular meetings with overseas facilities for continuity.
3. Sizing Testing:
· "Gold" samples set the quality and sizing standard for all new items.
· Rejection of any sample not meeting the agreed standard.
4. Accreditation:
· Our main overseas factory holds ISO 9001 and extensive NHS experience.
5. Quality Inspections:
· Dedicated quality control department with a minimum of 15 staff.
· Inspections start from fabrics and materials pre-production.
· Specific checks detailed in our supplier agreement ensure optimal garment quality.
· Checks cover pockets, seams, stitching, stress points, and more.
6. Arrival to the UK – Packaging Inspection
· Our QC manager and warehouse staff conduct random inspections on all shipments.
· Cartons are checked for appearance, product handling, dimensions, colour, and makeup.
· Polybag packaging and labels undergo scrutiny, maintaining consistency.
· Random sizing checks are in place, aligning with the factory's standards.
7. Avoiding Processing Errors:
· Stringent procedures in our office and warehouse maintain accuracy and high standards.
· Warehouse packs orders in pairs, with the Warehouse Manager conducting a final check.
