What is fabric 4-point inspection?
Fabric inspection using the 4-point system evaluates fabric rolls for defects (for example holes, stains, uneven dyeing, weaving flaws) before cutting and mass production. Points are assigned by defect size so buyers can decide whether a roll is acceptable.
HKQCC offers fabric inspection across China, Vietnam, India and Southeast Asia for US, UK and EU importers and brands that source apparel or textile products.
