What's checked before a container closes

A written checklist, agreed before production starts, applied the same way to fabric rolls and hardware batches.

The four-step process

Step 1

Source & specify

We shortlist mills against your target composition, GSM, load rating and finish, and write the specification into the quotation before anything is produced.

Step 2

Sample & approve

A physical fabric swatch or hardware piece ships before a production quantity is confirmed. What you approve is what gets produced against.

Step 3

Produce & inspect

Fabric rolls are checked for shade consistency and flaws before cutting; hardware batches are measured against the approved reference piece before packing.

Step 4

Consolidate & ship

Fabric and hardware for the same project are packed and documented as one export shipment, with the inspection report attached before the container closes.

Standards

What backs the checklist

  • OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
    Fabric collections are sourced only from mills holding current Standard 100 certification, confirming the material is tested for harmful substances.
  • ISO 9001-aligned sourcing process
    Lianhua's own quotation-to-export workflow follows ISO 9001 quality-management principles.
  • Martindale & cycle testing on request
    Rub-count and hardware cycle-test reports are available for any SKU before an order is placed.
  • Written checklist, agreed first
    What gets measured and what counts as a reject is agreed with the buyer before production starts — not decided afterward.

Before you order

Questions buyers ask first

What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on the fabric or hardware category and is confirmed with each quotation. Sample kits themselves carry no minimum.
How long does a sample kit take?
Physical fabric swatches and hardware pieces typically ship within seven business days of a request.
Do you inspect before shipping?
Yes — every fabric roll gets a shade and flaw check before cutting, and every hardware batch is checked against the acceptance criteria agreed with you up front, before it's packed.
Can fabric and hardware ship in the same container?
Yes — that's the default for matching orders. Both categories are consolidated into one export shipment and one set of documents.
What if a shipment doesn't match the approved sample?
The inspection report is sent with photographs before the container is loaded, so a mismatch is caught and resolved before the goods leave Shaoxing, not after they arrive.
