SAMPLING, INSPECTION AND PROTECTION

Quality Control

We use your agreed specification, drawings and any approved sample as the reference for quality follow-up. Our team coordinates material and processing requirements, production follow-up, finished-product checks and packing across our own coil and strip manufacturing and partner processing.

DURING PROCESSING

Interleaving Paper Protection

For precision cold-rolled coils with specified surface-finish requirements, we use dedicated interleaving paper at each processing and handling stage to reduce direct surface contact and friction.

Interleaving paper separates the metal during winding, unwinding and transfer between operations. Your surface specification and next processing step help define the protection needed for the coil.

Interleaving Paper

Keeps metal surfaces separated during coil processing, winding and handling.

Outer Packaging

Wrapping, strapping and pallets are planned around the finished coil dimensions and handling requirements.

Removable Protective Film

Temporary film protection is specified by the faces to be covered, downstream use and removal requirements. It is separate from decorative film and outer packing.

READY FOR DISPATCH

Coil Wrapping, Strapping and Pallet Packing

Coil orientation, grouping and outer wrapping need to suit the product and how it will be handled. These packing examples are from processing partners.

LOADING AND SECURING

Container Loading

Product dimensions and handling requirements guide how packed materials are positioned, supported and secured in the container. Unloading requirements can be discussed with the packing arrangement.

Quality and Packing Questions

What can I send to discuss a sample?

A drawing, specification or appearance reference helps us understand the sample you need. Include the product form, grade or material requirements, dimensions, intended use and later processing where known, along with the features you want to assess.

How does my approved sample guide the order?

We identify the sample and keep it linked to the agreed drawing or specification revision, appearance reference and approval record. If the material, finish or processing requirements change, we review the affected reference before updating it.

What is checked before dispatch?

We agree the inspection scope with your order requirements. Checks cover the specified dimensions and tolerances, surface and edges, identification, quantity, packing and document handover.

Can my order include a particular test or inspection document?

Include the test, acceptance criteria, document type and any inspection arrangement in your enquiry. We review these needs with the material and processing route before the order is confirmed.

How is the surface of a precision cold-rolled coil protected?

For coils with specified surface-finish requirements, dedicated interleaving paper separates the metal during processing and handling. Removable protective film and outer dispatch wrapping serve different purposes and are agreed separately for the order.

Which packing details help you plan my order?

For coils, include weight, inside and outside diameters, eye direction, surface and edge protection, pallet arrangement, handling method, identification and destination. Other product forms may need specific bundle, stack or end protection; these can be included with the material specification.

Sampling, Production Follow-Up & Final Inspection

Requirements & Sampling Plan

We review the material, intended part and acceptance requirements with you before defining the sample.

01

Requirement Confirmation

Your drawing or specification helps define the material, processing and acceptance requirements for the order.

  • We review the product form, grade, dimensions, quantity and delivery condition for your part.
  • Drawings, finish references and intended use are considered with the acceptance requirements.
Your Confirmation
The drawing or specification to use, the intended application and the requirements that matter most.
Order Record
The agreed requirements and document revisions for the order.

02

Sampling Plan

The sample plan sets out the material, processing route and features you need to assess.

  • We coordinate the material and manufacturing or processing route for your requested product.
  • The plan identifies the sample form, dimensions, finish and review items agreed with you.
Your Confirmation
What the sample needs to demonstrate and how you will assess it.
Order Record
The sample brief, processing requirements and review criteria.

Samples & Approval

The sample is reviewed against your part, appearance and processing needs, then identified as the agreed reference after approval.

03

Sample Preparation

We prepare material, finish or processed samples according to the agreed brief.

  • We organise preparation and identify the material and condition of the sample.
  • Relevant dimensions, surface and processing details are recorded with the sample.
Your Confirmation
The sample appearance and dimensional fit, together with the requirements of your next processing step.
Order Record
An identified sample with its specification and preparation details.

04

Approved Reference Sample

We work through your feedback and any sample revisions, then retain the agreed reference after approval.

  • We compare the sample with the requirements and work through the review comments with you.
  • The approved reference is identified and linked to the current specification.
Your Confirmation
The accepted sample and appearance reference, with the agreed method of recording your approval.
Order Record
The approved reference sample, revision and approval record.

Production Follow-Up & Final Inspection

The confirmed specification and approved sample guide order follow-up and the agreed finished-product checks.

05

Production Follow-Up

The approved specification and sample reference guide the material and processing follow-up for your order.

  • We follow the agreed production or partner-processing route and checkpoints.
  • Order identification is maintained, and changes affecting the approved requirements are communicated for confirmation.
Your Confirmation
Any proposed specification, appearance or processing change before it is adopted.
Order Record
Order follow-up records and confirmed changes.

06

Finished-Product Inspection

We review the finished product against the order requirements and approved sample reference within the agreed inspection scope.

  • Our review covers the agreed dimensions, appearance, identification, quantity and packing.
  • Inspection results are brought together with the product documents required for handover.
Your Confirmation
The acceptance requirements and how any inspection findings will be resolved.
Order Record
Finished-product inspection records and the agreed document handover.

Final Checks for Your Order

We agree the inspection scope with you, based on your product requirements and approved sample reference. The checks below are reviewed within that scope.

Dimensions

Dimensions and tolerances are reviewed against the specification for your product form.

Surface and Edges

Visible surfaces, finish and edges are compared with the agreed requirements and reference.

Identification and Quantity

Product identification and order references are checked with the agreed quantity and unit.

Packing and Documents

Surface protection, packing identification and required product documents are reviewed for handover.
