Quality Control & Packing at Flodeal Private Limited

At Flodeal, quality control and export packing are not afterthoughts—they are integrated systems embedded into every stage of our manufacturing workflow. As a direct manufacturer and exporter of natural and engineered stone from India, we understand that international buyers depend on consistency, accuracy, and damage-free deliveries, especially when material travels thousands of miles by sea.

Our Quality Control (QC) and Packing protocols are designed to meet the expectations of importers, wholesalers, fabricators, project contractors, and stone distributors across the USA and global markets.

Our Quality Philosophy: Export Grade Means Measurable Standards

“Export Grade” at Flodeal is defined by measurable parameters, not subjective descriptions. Every batch is processed under controlled conditions using CNC and PLC-equipped machinery, followed by structured inspections before packing approval.

We focus on:

  • Dimensional accuracy
  • Surface integrity
  • Visual consistency
  • Structural soundness
  • Seaworthy packing integrity

This approach minimizes rejections at destination and ensures predictable results for fabrication and installation.

Multi-Stage Quality Control Process

1. Raw Material & Block Selection

Quality control begins at the block selection stage. Blocks are chosen based on:

  • Color tone and grain uniformity
  • Structural integrity (visible cracks, weak zones)
  • Suitability for slabs, tiles, or cut-to-size production

Only blocks that meet export suitability criteria are released for processing.

2. Cutting & Thickness Calibration Control

All cutting and calibration are performed on CNC and PLC-controlled machines, ensuring:

  • Uniform thickness across slabs or tiles
  • Controlled tolerances suitable for international fabrication standards
  • Straight, clean edges for further processing

Thickness is checked at multiple points during production to avoid variation within a batch.

3. Polishing & Surface Quality Inspection

During polishing, our QC team monitors:

  • Consistent gloss levels across the surface
  • Absence of polishing waves or burn marks
  • Uniform reflection and color depth

Polish quality is evaluated under proper lighting to ensure the material performs well in showrooms, kitchens, and commercial interiors.

4. Crack, Resin & Structural Integrity Check

Natural stone may contain micro-fissures. At Flodeal:

  • Structural cracks are carefully evaluated
  • Resin or epoxy is used only when technically required, never to mask defects
  • Filled areas are checked for stability and visual acceptance

All such treatments are aligned with export norms and buyer expectations, and grade definitions are finalized before order confirmation.

5. Shade Sorting & Batch Matching

For projects and large orders, shade consistency is critical.

We implement:

  • Batch-wise sorting
  • Visual matching under controlled conditions
  • Clear separation of lots to avoid mixing

This ensures that buyers receive uniform material within agreed shade tolerance, reducing on-site adjustments.

Final Pre-Packing Inspection

Before packing approval, every crate or bundle undergoes a final inspection covering:

Thickness & size verification

  • Surface condition
  • Edge quality
  • Quantity cross-check against packing list

Only after QC clearance does material move to the packing area.

Export Packing Standards at Flodeal

placeholder v4

International stone transport demands robust, seaworthy packing. Our packing methods are designed to protect material during long ocean transit and multiple handling stages.

  • Packing Materials & Methods
  • Heavy-duty fumigated wooden crates / A-frames
  • ISPM-15 compliant packaging for international customs
  • Foam sheets, thermocol, or plastic separators between surfaces
  • Strong strapping and internal bracing

Each crate is labeled for easy identification at destination.

Slab Packing

Vertical A-frame packing to reduce stress

  • Proper spacing to avoid surface contact
  • Secured against movement during transit
  • Tile & Cut-to-Size Packing
  • Face-to-face packing with separators
  • Boxed and palletized inside wooden crates

Clear marking for size, thickness, and batch

Container Loading & Weight Management

Container loading is treated as a critical quality step, not a logistics formality.

We ensure:

  • Balanced weight distribution inside the container
  • Proper blocking and locking of crates
  • No over-stacking or stress points
  • Container condition check before loading
  • Photo and video documentation can be provided before dispatch for buyer reference.

Export Documentation & Compliance Support

Flodeal supports complete export documentation, including:

  • Packing list
  • Commercial invoice
  • Certificate of origin
  • Fumigation certificate
  • Bill of Lading coordination

We regularly ship under FOB, CIF, and CFR terms, depending on buyer preference and destination port.

Typical Order Flow: From QC to Dispatch

  • Block selection & approval
  • Cutting, calibration, and finishing
  • In-process quality checks
  • Final inspection & shade sorting
  • Export packing
  • Container loading & documentation
  • Dispatch

Each stage is traceable and supervised to maintain accountability.

Buyer Assurance & Risk Control

To support international buyers, we offer:

  • Pre-dispatch photos and videos
  • Clear grade definitions before production
  • Batch identification for repeat orders
  • Professional claims-handling approach for genuine issues

Our goal is long-term supply reliability, not one-time shipments.

Why Quality Control & Packing Matter for International Buyers

For overseas importers and fabricators, poor QC or packing leads to:

  • Installation delays
  • Material wastage
  • Client dissatisfaction
  • Financial losses

Flodeal’s systems are built to eliminate these risks at origin, where control is strongest.
