Quality control

Eight quality stages

Work moves on only after each stage is checked.

  1. Raw material

    • Visual, GSM and thickness checks
    • Lab tests on materials
  2. Lamination

    • Gas-fired heaters and heating chamber
    • Hydraulic press drying
    • Checked for evenness, moisture and weight
  3. Printing

    • Trial run signed off against your design
    • Panels inspected; tape and scratch tests
    • Top coat on selected models
  4. Stitch preparation

    • 100% panel inspection
    • Unstitched ball weighed against spec
  5. Stitching

    • Inflated and inspected for defects
  6. Final test

    • Inflated for 24+ hours
    • Leaks, printing, weight, circumference and roundness
    • 2,000-kick shooting test on random balls
  7. Packaging

    • Washed and dried
    • Machine-deflated to keep shape
  8. Post-production AQL inspection

    • All orders go through post-production inspection under AQL inspection standards
    • Reports provided to customers on request
