Production and quality — how we check
How Production and quality runs at merch.am: steps, timelines and AMD prices when the choice is driven by checkpoint discipline.
What this page is
Every production stage has a checkpoint: incoming material, the decoration trial and the inspection of the finished batch before packing. This page answers the practical questions: which steps exist, how long each takes and which documents accompany the process.
Quality is not checked at the end; it accumulates at every stage checkpoint, from material to packing. In the case of Production and quality that means one point of contact, one AMD invoice and deadlines fixed in writing.
How the work runs
The batch is packed only after inspection: print placement, colour and size compliance against the matrix are checked. Positions found defective are replaced from stock within the same wave, without a new deadline.
The core steps of the Production and quality track:
- Production and quality: batch inspection
- Production and quality: packing rules
- Production and quality: incoming material check
What we watch for
The risk we watch during Production and quality is this: The risk is skipping inspection: a check dropped in rush mode returns at double cost. That is why every step carries a written confirmation and its own owner.
The engine is checkpoint discipline: if the offer does not read along that axis, the Production and quality programme loses its point. We build along exactly that axis, measured by consistent quality and sample approval.
