Textile Quality Inspection Services in Italy
Pro QC’s textile inspection services in Italy are designed to control quality at every stage of production. From raw fabric rolls to finished garments, we ensure compliance with technical requirements, aesthetic standards, and contractual specifications.
All inspection reports are delivered within 24 hours, including photos, defect classification, and practical recommendations for corrective actions.
Fabric Inspection (4-Point System)
Pro QC applies the internationally recognized 4-Point System to evaluate woven and knitted fabrics for weaving, printing, or finishing defects. Our inspectors measure and classify defects such as weaving faults, color shading, stains, holes, or misprints.
Key focus areas include:
- Visual inspection of fabric rolls
- Width, weight, and color consistency verification
- Physical testing coordination (tear strength, GSM, color fastness)
- Reporting with defect mapping and roll-by-roll scoring
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Before mass production begins, Pro QC performs First Article Inspections to confirm that the initial sample meets design drawings, material specifications, and buyer requirements. This service helps ensure alignment between supplier and client expectations and prevents costly rework later in production.

In-Process Inspection (IPI)
Pro QC’s in-process inspections monitor production while it is ongoing to identify quality issues early. Our inspectors verify stitching consistency, pattern alignment, labeling, and measurements, ensuring continuous compliance with buyer standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
A Pre-Shipment Inspection is the final quality verification before goods are dispatched. Pro QC checks the finished product’s workmanship, labeling, packaging, and quantity against the purchase order and AQL sampling criteria.
