When should quality-control planning begin?
Before production. The current service model starts with clear product requirements, an approved sample, packaging details, and supplier communication. Waiting until finished goods exist makes it harder to distinguish the approved product from an assumption and can leave less room for correction before the planned shipment.
What can a Funda quality check cover?
The published scope includes size, color, material, basic function, logo placement, printing, packaging, labels, inserts, quantity, carton information, and consistency with the approved sample. The actual checklist should be narrowed to the product and buyer's written requirements; no generic checklist can cover every category or market.
Does approving one sample guarantee bulk production quality?
No. A sample is a reference, not a guarantee that every production unit will match it. The approved sample should be used together with a written specification, packaging proof, production follow-up, and an inspection plan that reflects the actual risks of the product and order.
Are supplier photos and videos the same as an inspection?
They can provide useful production visibility, but their coverage depends on what the supplier shows and how the request is defined. A planned inspection can use a written scope and record findings more systematically. The right approach depends on the product, production stage, risk, and what decision the buyer needs to make.
What happens if a quality issue is found before shipment?
Funda can help communicate the finding, request supplier clarification, and follow up on correction or replacement options. The buyer should decide whether the evidence and proposed resolution meet the order requirements. Revised details should be recorded so the approved outcome is clear for shipment and future orders.
