Custom Mahjong Sample Approval Checklist
· Quhu Studio
A sample is not just a preview. It is the checkpoint that protects quality, timing and production confidence.
This article is part of the Quhu Studio Resources hub for brands, retailers and creators developing custom American Mahjong sets and promotional products.
Review tile appearance
Check whether the artwork is sharp, correctly placed and consistent across the full tile set. Look closely at small text, icons, suit marks, jokers and special tiles.
Compare the sample against the approved artwork file, not only against memory or screenshots.
- Artwork placement
- Print clarity
- Color consistency
- Tile back color
- Side-layer alignment
Check tile feel and dimensions
A custom Mahjong tile should feel consistent in hand. Review thickness, edge finishing, surface smoothness, weight and stack alignment.
If racks and pushers are part of the set, test how the tiles sit and move during use.
Inspect packaging fit
Packaging should hold the tiles and accessories securely. Loose movement can damage the set in transit and make the product feel unfinished.
Open and close the package several times to check fit, insert strength and unboxing experience.
Confirm accessories
Make sure every planned accessory is included and fits the product story. This may include racks, pushers, dice, instruction cards, bags, labels or inserts.
Accessory quality should match the positioning of the set, especially for retail and gift programs.
Approve changes in writing
If the sample needs changes, document them clearly with photos, notes and revised files. Written approval reduces misunderstanding before mass production begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I approve a sample by photo only?
Photos are useful for early review, but a physical sample is better when color, tile feel, packaging fit and accessories matter.
What if the sample needs revisions?
List the changes clearly, update artwork or specifications if needed, and confirm whether a revised sample is required.
When is a sample ready for production?
A sample is ready when tile appearance, dimensions, packaging, accessories and written specifications are all approved.
