Map the Carton, Pouch and Case Record
List what belongs on each packaging layer and where staff can verify it. Use one fictional sample order to compare the pouch, outer carton, packing list and order record. Check which data are fixed in the artwork and which print from the order.
Review Variable Data With a Physical Proof
Test single-arch and dual-arch orders, including stage ranges that start above one. Verify that printed identifiers remain legible after sealing and that staff can match a pouch to the intended case and approved revision. Where codes are used, test scanning against the record they should retrieve.
Discuss Your Workflow
Share the handoff or production requirements you want to review.
Email the teamApprove Artwork and Line Changes Separately
Give each artwork revision an identifier, approval date and effective point. Test what happens to open orders when a proof changes. Confirm who removes obsolete stock from use. Have the responsible quality and regulatory team review market-specific content against applicable rules, such as the U.S. device labeling overview where relevant.
Verify Packout Before the First Routine Shipment
Reconcile the approved stage list with the packed pouches and resolve any missing, duplicated or unexpected stage. Retain the approved proof and the packout evidence in the agreed record system. Discuss packaging requirements with the OEM manufacturing team.
