Our 6-Pillar Quality Assurance System

Every handcrafted item is tested against physical, environmental, and international safety benchmarks prior to container stuffing.

Wood & Timber Timber Moisture Testing

Timber Seasoning & Moisture Testing

All Sheesham, Teak, and Mango timber is kiln-dried and seasoned. Every batch is verified using digital pin moisture meters.

  • Strict moisture threshold under 12%
  • Zero warping, cracking, or mold risk
  • Bark-free and chemical termite treated
Metal & Brass Brass Alloy Quality Check

Alloy Purity & Anti-Tarnish Coating

Moradabad brass items are cast with high-purity virgin alloy ingots and sealed with oven-baked electrophoretic clear lacquer.

  • Lead-free and non-toxic food-safe options
  • 48-hour salt-spray anti-tarnish test
  • Smooth hand-polished burr-free edges
Textiles & Dyes Textile Colorfastness Inspection

Silk Weave & Colorfastness Inspection

Pure Mulberry silk stoles and handloom cottons are inspected for uniform warp-weft density, thread pulls, and dye adherence.

  • Grade 4-5 rub and wash colorfastness
  • Azo-free eco-certified natural dyes
  • Precision hand-rolled hem inspection
Structural Check Joinery Strength and Load Bearing

Joinery Integrity & Dimensional Accuracy

Mortise-and-tenon joints, metal weld strength, and hardware hinges undergo load-bearing and stress tests against CAD drawings.

  • +/- 2mm strict dimensional tolerance
  • Heavy-duty weight load testing
  • Level balance testing on flat stone plates
Packaging ISTA Drop Testing

ISTA-Standard Drop & Shock Testing

Individual cartons undergo rigorous drop tests from 1-meter heights on all corners and edges to ensure 100% damage-free transit.

  • 5-ply virgin kraft corrugated boards
  • High-density EPE foam corner guards
  • Bursting strength tested (min. 14 kg/cm²)
Container Stuffing Container Stuffing Quality

Marine Container Moisture Protection

High-absorption calcium chloride container desiccants, moisture barriers, and strapping prevent moisture condensation in ocean transit.

  • Super-dry desiccants hung every 2 meters
  • ISPM 15 heat-treated wood certification
  • Heavy nylon strapping prevents shifting

The 4-Stage Quality Gateways

Zero compromises: Every consignment must pass through 4 sequential gate checks before final release.

1

Raw Materials

Grading of incoming timber, brass ingots, silk yarns, and dyes before crafting begins.

2

In-Process Audit

Artisans inspected during carving, casting, and weaving to catch dimensional deviations early.

3

Final AQL 2.5

Statistical random sampling checking surface finish, polish consistency, and weight tolerances.

4

Pre-Shipment

Pallet strapping, barcode label scanning, carton seal check, and container stuffing inspection.

5-Ply Export Master Cartons

5-Ply Master Cartons

Heavy-duty double wall corrugated cartons designed for high stacking strength inside ocean containers.

Individual Protective Wrapping

Individual Bubble & Foam

Each handicraft item is individually cushioned with bubble wrap, tissue, and customized edge protectors.

Moisture Barrier Wrapping

Moisture & Shrink Wrap

Outer palletized stretch shrink wrapping that seals entire cargo blocks from humidity and marine spray.

ISPM 15 Palletized Loading

ISPM 15 Palletizing

Certified heat-treated wooden pallets for forklift handling, strapping, and biosecurity port approvals.
