Garment Inspection FAQs
What is garment inspection in India?▾
Garment inspection is an independent on-site quality check conducted at apparel factories in India to verify that finished garments meet buyer specifications including measurements, workmanship, colour, fabric, trims, labelling and packing. We use AQL 2.5 for major and AQL 4.0 for minor defects as the industry standard for apparel.
Which garment categories do you inspect in Tirupur, Ludhiana, Delhi NCR and Jaipur?▾
We inspect all garment categories — knits (T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts) primarily in Tirupur and Ludhiana; wovens (shirts, trousers, denim) in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru; ladies fashion in Jaipur, Mumbai and Noida; sweaters in Ludhiana; and home textiles in Panipat and Karur.
Do you check GSM, shrinkage and colour fastness on-site?▾
Yes. Our inspectors carry GSM cutters, measuring tapes, light boxes (D65 standard) and crocking devices. For lab tests like AATCC colour fastness or ISO shrinkage, we coordinate with accredited labs (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, TUV) and include results in the inspection report.
How quickly can you arrange a garment inspection in Tirupur or Ludhiana?▾
We have permanent QC teams in Tirupur, Ludhiana, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Jaipur, Noida and Bengaluru. Same-day or next-day inspections are routinely available. Standard scheduling is 24–48 hours.
What is the cost of garment inspection in India?▾
Standard pre-shipment garment inspection (PSI) is $220–$320 per man-day, including a photo-documented PDF report within 24 hours. Most garment orders need only 1 man-day. Bundled sourcing + QC clients save 30–50%.
