A tissue pre-shipment inspection checklist compares the finished goods with the approved sample, specification and packaging files. A correct sheet specification does not resolve a wrong pack count, outdated label or mismatched carton.
A pre-shipment review brings those checks together. Its scope and acceptance criteria should be agreed for the order; a general checklist does not set a universal pass standard.
Tissue pre-shipment inspection checklist
| Item | Check against the approved reference |
|---|---|
| Order | Order reference, SKU, product name, quantity, destination and current specification revision. |
| Sample | Approved sample ID, approval date and the characteristics it is intended to demonstrate. |
| Product | Material statement, size, ply, count, fold or winding, appearance and other agreed inspection points. |
| Packaging | Artwork revision, unit identity, count, seals, opening, barcode data and language. |
| Carton | Packs per carton, carton dimensions, SKU markings, logistics identifiers and handling information. |
| Evidence | Inspection date, lot or order reference, responsible party, sampling scope, method, results and acceptance criteria. |
| Release | Outstanding differences, agreed actions, final quantity, required documents, named approvers and decision date. |
If something does not match
Record the difference, the affected quantity and the reference it was checked against. Assign a person to resolve it and document the decision before release. Do not quietly replace the approved sample or mark an open issue as accepted.
A photograph can document appearance or packing, but it does not replace a required test or inspection record. Keep the evidence tied to the relevant product and order.
Keep the record for the next order
Retain the approved sample reference, specification, artwork, packing details and release decision together. A repeat order can then start from an identified version rather than a collection of old emails. Changes to materials, counts or packaging should be recorded separately.
