Quality control

Inspection points for custom pendants, dog tags, and metal logo tags.

Custom metal products need more than a surface check. We review the finish, customer-specific information, assembly, packing, and batch separation before shipment.

What we check before packing

The inspection standard depends on whether the product is a personalized gift, a retail SKU, an OEM logo tag, or a bulk custom program.

01

Surface

Visible scratches, plating stains, rough edges, uneven brushing, glue marks, and obvious color mismatch.

02

Artwork

Logo position, photo crop, engraving clarity, spelling, date, initials, and direction compared with order notes.

03

Assembly

Jump rings, chain, clasp, bail, stones, and glued parts are checked for normal handling.

04

Options

Finish, chain length, stone color, back engraving, and packaging options are separated by SKU or customer note.

05

Packing

Pieces are packed loose, on cards, in bags, in gift boxes, or by customer name depending on order requirements.

06

Shipment

Carton count, product grouping, labels, and declared shipment notes are reviewed before dispatch.

Normal tolerance vs. production issue

Metal products can have small production variation. We separate acceptable tolerance from issues that affect the approved look or use.

Normal

Minor visual variation

Tiny plating tone differences, polished reflection, very small stone alignment variation, or slight photo contrast shift can occur by batch.

Issue

Review required

Wrong spelling, wrong logo, missing engraving, damaged chain, obvious scratches, dirty plating, or wrong quantity should be reported with photos.

After sale

Evidence for faster support

Send order number, product photos, package photos, affected quantity, and a clear description so we can compare against approved notes.
