What Causes Shade Differences Within a Single Production Carton?

Carton shade differences can result from mixed lots, inconsistent components, or packing allocation.

Identify the process causing the defect rather than relying on final sorting alone. Material, cutting, machine settings, handling, and operator methods can interact; record the affected style, size, lot, and operation so corrective action can be verified before the same issue continues through production. Review roll-to-garment traceability.
