Quality Control System

Our Quality Control System is built to meet the rigorous standards of global retailers, medical distributors, sports therapy brands, and private-label programs.
We operate under ISO 13485, CE, FDA, BSCI, and GMP-aligned frameworks to ensure safety, consistency, and traceability for every roll, every batch, and every shipment.

With a complete in-house laboratory, full-process quality checkpoints, digital traceability, and professionally trained QC inspectors, our factory guarantees performance reliability for kinesiology tape, cohesive bandage, athletic tape, EAB bandage, boob tape, medical tape, and other sports & medical consumables.

1. Quality Management Framework

Our QC system operates through a multilayer structure:

• Incoming Quality Control (IQC)
• In-Process Quality Control (IPQC)
• Finished Product Quality Control (FQC)
• Outgoing Quality Assurance (OQA)
• Supplier Quality Management (SQM)
• Document & Traceability System
• Continuous Improvement (CAPA)

This structure ensures that every product leaving the facility meets internal performance standards as well as international regulations.

2. Incoming Quality Control (IQC)

All raw materials are rigorously verified before entering production:

2.1 Material Verification

• Fabric tensile strength test
• Elasticity and elongation test
• Color stability & dye-fastness
• Adhesive raw material purity check
• EVA/paper core compatibility

2.2 Adhesive & Chemical Safety

• Viscosity measurement
• Solid content analysis
• pH level test
• Heavy metal check (when applicable)
• Latex-free verification for medical tapes

2.3 Packaging Material Inspection

• Box compression strength
• Ink adhesion
• Barcode readability
• Moisture protection

Only materials passing IQC are released into production.

3. In-Process Quality Control (IPQC)

QC teams monitor all key stages of production to prevent defects at the source.

3.1 Adhesive Coating Control

• Adhesive thickness measurement
• Evenness & spread uniformity check
• Initial tack & bonding strength
• Waterproof/sweatproof performance sampling

3.2 Lamination & Bonding Check

• Layer adhesion test
• Bubble/void inspection
• Substrate bonding consistency

3.3 Rolling & Slitting Control

• Tension calibration
• Edge smoothness & burr-free cutting
• Width tolerance (±0.1 mm)
• Core alignment inspection

3.4 Shape & Die-Cut Precision (for boob tape / beauty / pre-cut strips)

• Dimension accuracy
• Shape uniformity
• Adhesive border quality

3.5 Visual Inspection

• Color consistency
• Pattern consistency (for printed tapes)
• Surface flatness
• No contamination, stains, or wrinkles

4. Finished Product Quality Control (FQC)

Every batch undergoes performance and safety testing before entry to the warehouse.

4.1 Mechanical Performance

• Tensile strength
• Stretch & recovery
• Longitudinal/Transverse elasticity
• Tear resistance

4.2 Adhesion Performance

• Peel adhesion (N/25 mm)
• Initial tack
• Persistent adhesion (24 h check)
• Residue-free removal test (for skin-contact tapes)

4.3 Functional Performance

• Waterproof performance
• Breathability
• Sweat resistance
• Anti-fray performance
• Hand-tear ability (for EAB, athletic tape, rigid tape)

4.4 Skin Safety & Comfort (for beauty & medical tapes)

• Hypoallergenic adhesive confirmation
• Patch test results (if applicable)
• Irritation-free verification

4.5 Packaging Integrity

• Sealing reliability
• Carton compression strength
• Labeling accuracy
• Barcode readability
• IFU & lot-code verification

Only batches passing FQC enter the warehouse.

5. Outgoing Quality Assurance (OQA)

Before shipment, each order passes final inspection:

• Final carton check
• Quantity verification
• Weight verification
• Random sampling re-test
• Moisture check
• Drop test simulation
• Shipping mark verification
• Pallet & loading reinforcement

A shipment only leaves the factory after OQA approval.

6. In-House Laboratory Capabilities

Our laboratory supports advanced testing for sports, beauty, and medical consumables.

6.1 Mechanical Testing

• Tensile & elongation machine
• Peel strength tester
• Unwind force tester
• Compression tester

6.2 Environmental Testing

• Constant-temperature aging chamber
• Moisture/humidity test
• UV stability test

6.3 Chemical & Adhesive Testing

• Adhesive viscosity test
• Solid content measurement
• pH value measurement
• Hypoallergenic adhesive verification

6.4 Skin-Contact & Performance Testing

• Irritation assessment
• Breathability check
• Waterproof & sweat-resistance simulation

Lab results are recorded for every batch.

7. Traceability & Documentation System

We maintain a full digital traceability system, ensuring complete visibility from raw materials to shipment.

Traceable Information Includes:

• Raw material supplier
• Batch number & lot code
• Production date & line number
• QC checkpoints
• Testing records
• Packaging batch
• Shipping details

Documentation Available:

• COA
• MSDS
• CE/FDA/ISO certificates
• Test reports
• TDS (Technical Data Sheet)
• Factory audit records (BSCI/SMETA/GMP)

This system supports global retailers and importers that require high compliance standards.

8. Sample Retention & Batch Stability Tracking

• Each batch retains 3–6 samples for minimum 12–24 months
• Stored in controlled environments for re-testing
• Stability comparison check conducted periodically
• Ensures long-term reliability for private-label programs

9. Supplier Quality Management (SQM)

Our approved supplier list (ASL) is managed under strict evaluation criteria:

• Material audits
• Annual supplier review
• Random incoming material testing
• Compliance with REACH/ROHS/ISO13485 & skin-contact safety standards
• Corrective action plans for non-conforming suppliers

10. Continuous Improvement (CAPA Program)

We apply a Closed-Loop Corrective & Preventive Action system:

• Root cause analysis
• Line re-training
• Machine calibration upgrades
• SOP optimization
• Production parameter refinement
• Weekly QC review meetings
• Monthly quality performance reports

11. Quality Team Structure
