5. How V-Trust Helps You Control the Quality of Bags

V-Trust helps ensure the consistent quality and safety of your bags throughout production. Our full range of bag inspection services—including Sample Checks, Production Monitoring, During Production Inspection, Pre-Shipment Inspection, and Container Loading Supervision—supports you in minimizing defects and meeting your quality standards.

Sample Check

We review bag samples before mass production to assess design accuracy, material quality, workmanship, and key functional elements like zippers and straps—helping you evaluate suppliers and avoid early-stage quality issues.

Production Monitoring

Our inspectors stay on-site to monitor daily production progress and identify issues such as defective components, uneven stitching, or poor assembly—ensuring consistent output and timely corrective actions.

During Production Inspection

Conducted when at least 10% of production is complete, this inspection helps spot early problems like misaligned logos, poor hardware installation, or incorrect materials—allowing time for adjustments before full production finishes.

Pre-Shipment Inspection

A full-scale quality check performed when production is 80–100% completed and packed. Key aspects inspected include:

  • Functional performance (zippers, handles, straps)
  • Construction quality and finishing details
  • Visual appearance (scratches, stains, misalignment)
  • Size, weight, and material conformity
  • Labeling, packaging, and barcode/marking accuracy

Container Loading Supervision

We supervise container loading to confirm the correct products are shipped in proper condition, with clean packaging, safe stacking, and no risk of damage during transit.

Bag Product Quality Control: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How many days in advance should I book the inspection?

Though sometimes it's possible to book next-day inspections for many manufacturing clusters where V-Trust has a large team of full-time inspectors, we recommend booking with us at least three days in advance. Early booking is important for appropriate scheduling and good preparation before the inspection.

Do I need to send you an approved sample?

It would be great if you can send the approved sample to V-Trust before the inspection for reference. Compared with product photos or specification documents, real product samples allow V-Trust engineers to do a more thorough comparison check.

How long does it take to get my report?

The official report, reviewed and signed by an authorized V-Trust technical manager, will be available within 24 hours after each inspection. Same day report is available if you would like to know about the inspection findings on the same day. V-Trust has the highest same day report rate in the inspection industry.

What if I have questions after receiving the report?

Please don’t hesitate to contact us whenever you have any questions. V-Trust team is always available even after the inspection is completed.
