Quality and compliance
Quality here means one thing: the towels you receive match the sample you approved in weight, size, shade and hand-feel.
What we check, and when
- Yarn
- Weighed and tested on receipt
- Weight
- Grams per square metre and weight per dozen, on the loom and after finishing
- Size
- Length and width after finishing, against the agreed tolerance
- Shade
- Against the approved lab dip, lot by lot
- Appearance
- Every towel on a lighted table for weaving faults, stains and pulled loops
- Stitching and labels
- Hems, label position and care-label content
- Packing
- Fold, piece count, barcode and carton marks against your packing instruction
Tolerances for weight, size and shade are agreed in writing with each order. If your programme names a test standard for absorbency, shrinkage or colour fastness, we test to it, and third-party lab reports can be arranged before shipment.
