Quality Control Protects Your Brand

Every rigid box we produce goes through four quality control stages. We check materials before production, inspect during assembly, test corners and edges, and do final random inspection before packing. This is how we ensure every box meets your standard.

Our 4-Stage QC Process

Stage	When	What We Check
Material check	Before production	Board thickness, paper color, glue quality
In-line check	During assembly	Folding, corner taping, lid fit
Corner test	After assembly	Corner strength, edge finish, warp check
Final inspection	Before packing	Print quality, dimensions, random sampling

Stage 1: Material Check

Before production starts:

Board thickness — Greyboard meets your specified thickness (1.5mm–3mm)

Paper color — Wrapped paper matches approved color sample

Paper grain — Grain direction correct for box size

Glue quality — Adhesive bonds properly, no dry spots

Why it matters: Bad materials = bad boxes. We catch material issues before cutting and wrapping.

Stage 2: In-Line Check

During assembly:

Folding accuracy — Board folds cleanly at scored lines

Corner taping — Corners taped securely, no gaps

Lid fit — Lid sits flush on base, no overhang

Wrapping — Paper wraps tightly, no bubbles or wrinkles

Why it matters: Catching assembly issues early means we fix them before they multiply across hundreds of boxes.

Stage 3: Corner & Edge Test

After assembly:

Corner strength — Corners hold firm, no peeling

Edge finish — Edges are clean, no rough paper

Warp check — Box sits flat, no twisting

إغلاق مغناطيسي — Magnet holds securely (for magnetic boxes)

Why it matters: Corners and edges are where rigid boxes fail first. We stress-test every batch.

Stage 4: Final Inspection

Before packing:

Print quality — Colors match proof, no smudging

Dimensions — Boxes measure within tolerance (±1mm)

Random sampling — AQL 2.5 level inspection

Packing review — Boxes packed safely, no transit damage

Why it matters: This is your last line of defense. We sample-random boxes from the finished batch before it leaves the factory.

AQL Sampling Standard

Batch Size	Sample Size	Acceptable Defects
500–1,200	80 boxes	≤ 7 minor / ≤ 2 major
1,200–3,200	125 boxes	≤ 10 minor / ≤ 3 major
3,200–10,000	200 boxes	≤ 14 minor / ≤ 5 major

We follow AQL 2.5 standard: minor defects up to limit are acceptable, major defects (broken corners, wrong size, major print errors) trigger a full rework.

Common Defects We Catch

Corner peeling — Paper lifts at corners after assembly

Print color drift — Bulk print differs from approved sample

Warped lid — Lid doesn’t sit flat on the base

Glue marks — Visible glue on exterior paper

Size mismatch — Box dimension off by more than 1mm

Foam insert gap — Product rattles inside the insert

What You Should Check On Your Sample

When you receive your sample, inspect:

Lid fit — Does the lid sit flush?

Corner quality — Are corners tight and clean?

Print color — Does it match your digital proof?

Material feel — Is the board thick enough?

Interior lining — Is it smooth and well-glued?

Close/open action — Does it feel premium?

Our QC Promise

If any box arrives damaged or defective, we replace it free of charge. We photograph every batch before packing and share the report with you for approval before shipment.
