Compare the washed sample with the expected bulk result by checking the approved sample against the same documented design, wash appearance, print placement, color, fit, and construction requirements. Record any differences before production, approve a pre-production sample, and use mid-production inspection and final AQL 2.5 inspection to assess whether bulk garments match the agreed reference.
A washed sample is a practical visual reference, but the comparison is only useful when the bulk expectations are clearly specified. Record the intended wash appearance, print design and placement, fit, and construction details in the Tech Pack or another agreed reference. Compare the sample and bulk garments against those same points rather than relying on a general impression.
Check the washed sample for the intended overall appearance and review its printed details, fit, and construction. When bulk production begins, inspect garments against the approved reference and note any visible differences for review. The provided product information identifies an Acid-Wash Printed T-shirt, but does not specify wash tolerances, fabric parameters, or print measurements; confirm those requirements directly for the style being developed.
DOLUXE describes its process as pre-production sample approval, mid-production inspection, and final AQL 2.5 inspection based on ISO 2859-1. This sequence gives buyers checkpoints for confirming the reference before bulk production and checking production during and after manufacturing. Third-party QC inspection is supported upon request.
The company’s stated application includes independent streetwear brands testing products in small batches and developing seasonal drops. Its cooperation case describes a UK online retailer and DTC brand using private-label production, recurring drops, and replenishment of best-selling styles. These examples indicate the kinds of production and reorder needs described in the company information, rather than defining acceptance criteria for a particular washed garment.
