Even before adhesive tape reaches our warehouse, it has undergone a rigorous incoming inspection. Each product (shipment) is inspected based on factory test certificates, specified parameters, and standardized test procedures—only then is it approved. We apply this level of care at every stage of the process. In this article, we’ll show you how we ensure high product quality step by step.
Overview: Our Quality Assurance Across All Process Steps
To give you a clear idea of how we ensure quality at cardinal Tapes, here is a brief overview of the key areas of our inspection processes:
Incoming Goods: For us, quality begins with a comprehensive incoming inspection. All shipments are therefore checked against factory test certificates and the parameters specified for the product before they enter the warehouse. Critical materials are stored and released to our customers only after approval by our quality management team. Thanks to our consistent batch tracking system, it is possible at any time to trace which batch was used in which product—a key component of our quality assurance process.
Production Control: During production, we continuously check whether the products meet the defined standards and specifications. We use standardized procedures. In the manufacture of stamped parts, we are able to perform 100% inspection using inline cameras.
Shipping: Before a product leaves our facility, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that all requirements are met.
Ongoing Production Checks: Precision at Every Step
During production, we regularly check whether each product precisely meets the defined specifications. These inspections are conducted according to established procedures and are documented in inspection reports. Rotary stamping offers a unique feature: Inline cameras enable 100% measurement, which measures every single stamped part and thus monitors production. In addition, CNC-controlled 2D measuring and material testing machines are used. Every roll and every stamped part is uniquely traceable thanks to end-to-end batch tracking.
Special Customer Requirements: Customized Quality Assurance Without Compromise
In addition to our standardized testing procedures, we offer customized solutions—such as pre-production samples, additional tests, or specific test reports tailored to customer specifications. These special tests are seamlessly integrated into our manufacturing and quality control processes without disrupting the production flow. This ensures that even with complex requirements, there are no compromises in precision, on-time delivery, or product quality.
Seamless Processes: ISO 9001 in Everyday Life
With ISO 9001, we have been meeting mandatory quality standards for over two decades—and putting them into practice every day. Since 2022, our in-house quality management system has also ensured that all processes are continuously monitored and improved as needed. For our customers, this means: no fluctuations in quality, full traceability, and the assurance that even complex projects are implemented in a structured and error-free manner.
