Quick answer

Bag hardware quality control should cover material checks, dimensional inspection, surface finish inspection, assembly function, color consistency, scratch prevention and packing inspection.

Dimensional inspection

Dimensional inspection should be written into the sample approval and production inspection process. For custom bag hardware, small differences in dimensions, movement, color or packing can affect the final bag, so the acceptance standard should be clear before mass production.

Surface finish inspection

Surface finish inspection affects how the finished hardware looks, wears and matches other parts on the same bag. Buyers should approve physical samples because screen colors and general finish names are not enough for production control.
