Factory visits
Observe the location, visible facilities, available production areas and supplier representatives, subject to the factory's access rules.
Factory visits & pre-shipment checks
When being there actually matters.
Commission a clearly scoped physical factory visit or product inspection when photographs, marketplace profiles and remote assurances are not enough.
Physical work, defined in advance
An inspection should start with a real checklist.
A factory visit and a pre-shipment inspection answer different questions. A visit helps establish what can be observed about a supplier's premises, personnel and visible production setup. A product inspection checks an agreed set of order-specific points before goods leave the factory.
Meaningful criteria depend on the product. Jewelry may require attention to finish, plating appearance, clasps and stone settings. Bags may require checks on material, stitching, hardware and packaging. Pet accessories may require dimensional, construction and labeling checks. Findings should be recorded against the agreed scope, not presented as a guarantee of every unit or a substitute for laboratory testing.
Product inspections
Check agreed characteristics such as visible workmanship, dimensions, packaging, labeling, quantities or comparison with the approved sample.
Recorded findings
Provide a concise written summary with relevant photo or video evidence where permitted and identify issues requiring supplier follow-up.
Separate from remote supplier checks
Travel, timing and access are priced transparently.
An actual visit requires coordination with the supplier, travel time, location-specific planning and a clear understanding of what the factory will allow. Physical work is therefore quoted separately from remote document review, supplier research or routine online follow-up.
- Factory location, proposed timing and required travel are confirmed in advance
- The inspection checklist is aligned with the product and the order stage
- Any approved sample, packaging specification or reference image is identified beforehand
- Photo and video documentation depends on supplier permission and practical access
- Specialist tests or formal certifications are arranged through qualified third parties when required
Where a specialized third-party inspection provider is more appropriate for the product, location or inspection standard, that option can be discussed openly instead of overstating DGT's own capabilities.
