05

Pre-shipment AQL

Random AQL sampling against agreed acceptance limits before sign-off.

06

Final carton

Carton marks, packing list, and shipment quantity confirmation before dispatch.

Inspection method

Defect Classification & AQL

We inspect against an agreed Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) so expectations are clear before production.

Critical defects

Safety-related issues (e.g. sharp edges, choking risk) — zero tolerance.

Major defects

Issues affecting function, print legibility, or color accuracy — tight limits.

Minor defects

Cosmetic issues within agreed AQL tolerances.

Sampling plan

ISO 2859 / AQL-based random sampling, typically 2.5 major / 4.0 minor (adjustable).
