When should waterbase print soft hand OEM be checked against the finished garment?

Check after sewing, pressing, decoration when relevant, and the approved garment wash—not only on greige fabric. Measure the first

sample against the signed method, then after the wash recipe and drying method signed for bulk. If yarn, knitting, wash chemistry, softener, dryer setting, pattern, or decoration changes, repeat the gate before releasing the 1,000-piece style MOQ.

“Approve Waterbase Print Soft Hand OEM QC on finished samples before bulk; record wash lot, measurements, and buyer tolerance on the sample QA sheet.” — common buyer QA practice for OEM approval

How can buyers prevent bulk failures related to

waterbase print soft hand OEM?

  • Keep the approved sample photos and numbers with the tech pack and purchase order.
  • Match machine settings, trim lots, and wash chemistry to the signed sample.
  • Inspect first-off bulk before full sewing or packing and quarantine lots outside tolerance.
  • Re-check after any wash chemistry, softener, dryer, or decoration change.
