QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
VALUETEX / 05

Quality starts
with clarity.

A good product brief defines what acceptable looks like. Use these checkpoints to put fit, finish and consistency into a practical B2B discussion.

AGREE IT. THEN ASSESS IT.

The sample is a reference.
The specification gives it meaning.

A sock can look right in a photograph and still miss a buyer’s expectations. Dimensions, stretch, feel and presentation need their own criteria. Before approval, agree which characteristics will be checked, how they will be measured and what variation is acceptable.

The checklist below is a buyer planning guide. Specific inspections, tests and documentation must be agreed for your project.

THE BUYER’S CHECKLIST

Look closer.
Ask better questions.

01

Fit & measurements

Confirm the size system, foot length, leg height and cuff opening. Agree how relaxed and stretched measurements will be taken and recorded.

02

Construction & finish

Review toe closure, heel shape, cuff feel, loose threads and visible faults. Compare pairs against the agreed sample and written specification.

03

Colour & design

Set the colour reference and viewing conditions. Check logo placement, stripe alignment, pattern legibility and matching within each pair.

04

Wash & wear requirements

Identify any wash, dimensional stability, pilling or colourfastness requirements. Agree methods and acceptance criteria before requesting testing.

05

Pairing & packing

Check that sizes, labels, quantities, barcodes and assortment ratios match the brief. A well-made sock still needs the right presentation.

06

Records & approvals

Keep the specification, sample comments, approval dates and changes together. Clarify whether an inspection or report is required before dispatch.

DOCUMENTATION THAT MATTERS TO YOU

Make your requirements
part of the first conversation.

If you require a particular certification, audit, test method or report, share its exact name and scope. Availability needs to be verified for the product and supply arrangement under discussion.
