When a soccer ball is made, it needs to go through various quality control checks to make sure that it is in perfect shape and that there are no holes due to the stitching process- if it doesn’t meet the specs then it doesn’t get shipped out.
The soccer ball is inspected quite a few times during its assembly. First of all, the bladders are checked when they are removed from the moulds to make sure that they do not have any holes or are not damaged in any way.Then the covering material is checked after it has been lined with the backing material. One of the most important quality checks, is the silkscreen printing where the printed panels are visually inspected and any faulty ones are discarded and then replaced.
Once the soccer ball has been stitched together, an inspector will look over the ball carefully to make sure that no stitches have been missed, and that there are no flaws. The final checks are made by inflating the bladder and then weighing the ball and measuring it to make sure that it meets standards before it is ready to be passed on to the shipping area!
