Summary
A profession that performs inspections on appearance, dimensions, and functionality of bags after manufacturing processes or upon receipt, and sorts out defective products.
Description
Bag inspectors conduct appearance inspections, dimensional measurements, and functional inspections on bag products at the final stage of the manufacturing line or after delivery to ensure product quality. They check seams, leather scratches, zipper opening and closing conditions, handle and shoulder strap strength, etc., and measure dimensions using calipers or rulers. Inspection results are recorded, defective products are removed from the line, and improvement instructions are reported to the production department as necessary. Strict checks based on quality standards and manuals are required.
