Trust isn't a PDF promise.
It's a person standing next to the cutting table.
When you order 500 custom sublimated jerseys or 300 heavyweight French terry hoodies from 4,000 miles away, the scariest moment isn't paying the deposit—it's the four weeks of radio silence before shipment.
Proov Inspector puts our own vetted textile engineers and AQL-certified quality auditors inside the factory at three non-negotiable milestones. We weigh fabric rolls on calibrated GSM scales, audit inline sewing before mistakes multiply, and inspect finished cartons before a single dollar of escrow is released.

Catching defects before they multiply
Traditional sourcing only checks goods when they arrive at your warehouse—when it's already too late. Proov stops errors at the root.
Raw Fabric & Trim Intake
Before a single pattern piece is laser cut, a Proov Inspector weighs the raw textile bolt using a 100cm² circular cutter and digital scale. If your techpack calls for 420 GSM and the mill delivered 340 GSM, the run stops immediately.
Inline Sewing & First-Article
When 20% of the lot is stitched, our auditor pulls garments straight off the line. We test collar rib tension, 4-thread overlock seam pull resistance, and measure size grading across XS to 3XL against your CAD chart.
Final AQL 2.5 & Tamper Sealing
Full ISO 2859-1 Level II sampling. Finished goods are inspected for stray threads, soil marks, barcode readability, and master carton drop resistance. Each carton is sealed with serialized Proov tamper-evident tape.
How custom manufacturing actually gets de-risked
Compare the traditional overseas sourcing nightmare against Proov’s closed-loop techpack contract and on-site inspection gates.
WhatsApp Voice Notes & Unverified JPEGs
You send a Pinterest photo and a casual message: 'Make it 400 GSM like Supreme'. The factory nods, guesses the shrinkage, and orders whatever polyester blend they have on hand.
Digital Techpack as an Escrow Contract
Every stitch count, Pantone dye code, point-of-measure (POM) tolerance (±0.5cm), and raw yarn specification is codified into a binding digital record before bidding starts.
“In Sialkot, the best factories don't fear inspectors—they welcome them. Before Proov, if a UK buyer complained about an order, there was no objective proof of whether the defect happened on our sewing floor or during customs unpacking. With Proov Inspector signing off on the sealed master cartons, our payment is guaranteed and our craft is vindicated.”
