Final quality-control inspection form

What it’s for

Give the final inspection a fixed, recordable structure — checks marked pass, fail, or not-applicable per job, with the result and rework notes captured against an inspector and date.

Who it’s for: Whoever signs goods out of production — owner, QC lead, or senior operator.

What’s included

• Job header: order reference, customer, product, inspector, and date
• Fourteen inspection checks with Pass / Fail / N/A boxes, covering order match, counts, placement and orientation, artwork version, colour, decoration quality, adhesion or cure state, damage and contamination, finishing, packaging, documentation, and final count
• An overall result (pass / rework required / reject), issue and rework notes, and inspector sign-off
• A printed note on using Pass, Fail and N/A, so process-specific checks (like cure state) are marked honestly rather than skipped

Form structure

How to use it

1. 1.Inspect against documents — the order and the approved proof — not memory; the companion checklist explains each check's reasoning.
2. 2.Mark every row: a genuine N/A is information, an empty row is an unfinished inspection.
3. 3.Record failures in the notes with the fault and quantity, and quarantine rejects before they reach the packing bench.
4. 4.File the completed form with the order so reprints and disputes have an inspection record.

Limitations

• One form cannot know your process — cure, adhesion, and finishing checks must be read through your equipment and materials, and marked N/A where they don't apply.
• It records inspection, not compliance — it is not a substitute for any statutory or customer-mandated quality documentation.
