Packaging Requirements & Questions
•Is there an existing spec sheet? – the master document that lists all aspects of the packaging being discussed: structure, barrier, dimensions, unwind, core size, etc.
•Dimensions? – OD (outside dimension) or ID (inside dimension)
•What barrier does your product need? – the end user should dictate the type of barrier necessary to preserve their products integrity. Each product, food or otherwise, will require different OTR/MVTR levels to ensure its longevity.
•Gauge – the thickness of the film which will affect the tear and burst strength of the packaging.
•Samples – important to verify that you are quoting exactly what they are buying, as well as to verify the information they currently have on this product.
