Simple Factory Audit

A quick and effective way to verify a supplier's legitimacy, covering:

  • Factory existence confirmation
  • Document verification, including certificates, Business license, bank accounts
  • Basic production capacity review, checking whether your interested product is produced by the factory, or is outsourced
  • Contact person verification

Factory Audit

A deeper evaluation of a supplier's capabilities, including:

  • Production capacity and facilities
  • Quality control system assessment
  • Raw material and process checks

Social Compliance Audit

Ensuring ethical production practices by evaluating:

  • Labor conditions and workplace safety
  • Environmental policies
  • Compliance with social responsibility standards

V-Trust is a Sedex Affiliate Audit Company, qualified to perform SMETA audits. Feel free to contact our packaging product expert at elsa.jiang@v-trust.com for a free consultation on the Sedex SMETA audit or any audit services.

How V-Trust Helps You Control Packaging Equipment & Materials Quality?

V-Trust offers comprehensive quality control services for packaging products, covering every stage of the production process. Our services include Sample Check,During Production Inspection, Pre-Shipment Inspection, Production Monitoring, and Container Loading Supervision, ensuring consistent product quality and compliance at every step.

Sample Check

Our engineers conduct a thorough evaluation of your packaging product samples, assessing quality, safety, functionality, and specifications in V-Trust’s lab. This helps in comparing items from different suppliers, enabling a swift and informed decision.

During Production Inspection

An inspector visits the factory when 30-50% of production is completed to detect defects early, prevent costly errors, and ensure production is on schedule.

Pre-Shipment Inspection

The inspector will go to the factory when the whole production is finished. It’s a final check to verify:

  • Product quality and compliance
  • Functionality, safety, performance, and internal construction
  • Product specifications
  • Secure and regulatory-compliant packaging
  • Accurate quantities
  • Marking & labeling

Production Monitoring

Continuous oversight by inspectors ensures adherence to quality standards. Corrective action plans help improve the factory’s overall quality management system.

Container Loading Supervision

Inspectors ensure correct packaging, labeling, and shipment quantities before dispatch. They also check the container’s condition for damage, holes, and acceptable humidity levels.

Some Important Checks on Different Types of Packaging Equipment & Materials

V-Trust conducts detailed inspections tailored to the unique characteristics of packaging equipment and materials. Our process is built upon industry best practices and a comprehensive checklist to ensure that every aspect of your machinery is thoroughly evaluated. Key inspection checkpoints include:

Packaging Equipment:

We verify the overall mechanical integrity by examining the machine's structure, electrical components, control panels, wiring, motors, belts, pulleys, gears, and moving parts. We also assess the integration of automation features and safety systems to ensure reliable, continuous operation.

Filling & Sealing Machines:

Our inspections focus on the accuracy and consistency of the filling process, sealing performance, and operational speed. We check for proper alignment, functionality of pneumatic or hydraulic systems, and the condition of seals, valves, and other critical components.

Labeling & Coding Systems:

We evaluate the precision of label placement, print quality, adhesive performance, and durability under varying environmental conditions. Calibration of digital interfaces and responsiveness of control systems are also verified.

Conveyor Systems & Cartoning Machines:

We assess the structural stability, load capacity, and alignment of conveyors and cartoning systems. This includes monitoring speed regulation, noise levels, vibration, and overall integration with your production line.

Packaging Materials:

Our evaluations cover material strength, moisture resistance, and design consistency. We ensure that all materials—from corrugated boxes and plastic bags to shrink films and protective cushioning—meet regulatory standards and sustainability criteria.

Shrink Films & Protective Materials:

We inspect film thickness, shrink consistency, and overall performance in protecting products during transit. We also verify that packaging instructions, quality documentation, and calibration settings are properly implemented to maximize material efficiency.

By incorporating over 20 specific checkpoints—from structural and electrical safety tests to performance, noise, vibration, and maintenance checks—V-Trust's comprehensive inspection services help mitigate risks, prevent costly downtime, and ensure that your packaging machinery consistently meets international quality and safety standards.

In addition to the above aspects, we’re happy to listen to your requirements & concerns, and carry out a tailor-made checking plan according to your own testing plan and inspection requirements.

Structural Defects:

Cracks, loose fasteners, misaligned components, and worn-out belts or gears that can lead to operational failures.

Electrical & Control Issues:

Faulty wiring, malfunctioning control panels, sensor errors, and calibration drifts that affect machine performance and consistency.

Sealing & Filling Problems:

Inconsistent filling volumes, weak or incomplete seals, leakage in filling and sealing machines, and misaligned components causing quality issues.

Labeling & Coding Errors:

Poor label placement, low print quality, and adhesive failures that can affect product traceability and brand integrity.

Material Deficiencies:

Degradation of packaging materials, inconsistent film thickness, moisture absorption, and quality variations that compromise protection and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions on Inspection of Packaging Equipment & Materials

Why do I need shipment inspection for packaging equipment & materials?

Not every shipment will have quality issues, but if even one does, resolving the problem can be time-consuming and stressful. Even if the supplier agrees to compensate you or send replacement products, waiting several months for new goods can disrupt your business and damage your brand’s image.

How many days in advance should I book the inspection?

Though sometimes it's possible to book next-day inspections for some manufacturing clusters where V-Trust has a large team of inspectors, we recommend booking with us at least three days in advance.

Who will I be in contact with throughout the whole process?

One dedicated account manager will be assigned for all the upcoming inspection bookings.

Do I need to send you an approved sample?

Approved samples are much recommended so that our engineer can have a clearer understanding about the product details in advance and take note of the points which we should pay attention to during the inspection. After that we will contact the factory and send the sealed samples for inspection reference.

How many days prior to shipment should the inspection take place?

At least one week considering that if the inspection report isn't satisfactory, the factory will have enough time to rework the defectives and ship the goods on time.

Can I discuss with you in details about my own inspection criteria?

Absolutely! Our checklists are flexible, and we encourage our customers to, before each inspection, send us their special requirements and own inspection criteria so we can add them to the checklist. Special requirements can also be added through the online booking system.

How long does it take to get my report?

The official report is reviewed and signed by a technical manager and made available for download within 24 hours after each inspection. However, we may send you a draft report which has basic remarks about the inspection, but does not include photos. In this way, you can know the result of the inspection without delay.

What if I have questions after I receive your report?

Our services do not stop once report is issued. Our team is always available to clarify each point of the report after each inspection, if necessary.
