How V-Trust Helps You Control the Quality of Footwear
V-Trust ensures consistent footwear product quality and regulatory compliance throughout the entire production process. Our full range of footwear inspection services, including Sample Checks, Production Monitoring, During Production Inspection, Pre-Shipment Inspection, and Container Loading Supervision, helps you minimize defects and enhance performance.
Sample Check
We assess footwear samples in our lab, evaluating construction, materials, and workmanship to help you confidently select reliable suppliers before mass production begins.
Production Monitoring
We provide continuous on-site production monitoring for footwear to ensure consistent build quality and early detection of issues such as glue stains, bonding problems, or shape deformities. This service supports manufacturers in maintaining high-quality standards throughout the production cycle.
During Production Inspection
This inspection is carried out when at least 10% of the footwear order is completed. It helps detect early-stage issues like mislabeling, inconsistent sizing, sole separation, or stitching flaws, minimizing the need for rework and preventing shipment delays.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
At the final stage of footwear production, we perform a detailed inspection to verify:
- Overall product quality and adherence to safety and performance standards
- Size accuracy, upper and outsole workmanship, and material consistency
- Adhesion strength, symmetry, and comfort assessment
- Packaging integrity, box labeling, and correct style/size assortment
Container Loading Supervision
We ensure your footwear products are properly packed, neatly stacked, and loaded into clean, secure containers. This prevents damage from moisture, deformation, or crushing during international transport, ensuring your goods arrive in excellent condition.
