Cartons and corrugated packaging
Define internal dimensions, product weight, closure style and how the packs will be transported. Include insert requirements and any agreed strength or handling tests so the proposed construction can be reviewed.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH
Specify what the packaging must protect and communicate.
Packaging quotations depend on more than the outside dimensions. Substrate, construction, print coverage, finishing and packing quantities all affect the scope. Inspecvera helps structure the brief for candidate converters and printers, with separate approval points for artwork and the physical packaging sample where needed.
Labels and printed materials
Specify the application surface, label size, substrate, print colours and finishing. Identify variable information such as batch details or barcodes and who is responsible for verifying the approved artwork.
Flexible and specialist packaging
State the product being packed, filling conditions and barrier or contact requirements. Material structure, testing and any supporting documentation must be confirmed with the proposed manufacturer.
Separate print approval from fit approval.
A digital proof can confirm artwork layout but does not establish the fit or performance of the finished package. Define which samples and checks are needed before the full print or production run.
