Specification baseline
The agreed dimensions, construction, adhesive or strength target, color, core and pack-out form the project reference.
Agree dimensions, material, sample requirements and pack-out before an order is released. Keep inspection methods and acceptance criteria with the written specification.
Packaging performance depends on product construction, application and handling. Quality coordination therefore begins before production, with a clear quotation basis.
The agreed dimensions, construction, adhesive or strength target, color, core and pack-out form the project reference.
Where the project requires it, a physical sample or artwork proof is reviewed before production release.
Order progress and material questions are coordinated against the confirmed brief with the selected manufacturing partner.
Labels, carton marks, roll or coil configuration and pallet requirements are reviewed against the agreed pack-out.
Commercial invoice, packing list and shipment information are checked for consistency before handover.
Any deviation that affects the agreed requirement is raised for confirmation instead of being silently accepted.
Agree the measurement method, tolerance, sample scope and acceptance criteria in the order specification. Keep the result tied to the grade and sample that were reviewed.
| Category | Specification and approval record |
|---|---|
| Packing tape | Width and usable length; backing versus total thickness; core and roll size; adhesive and carton surface. Retain: Record the approved roll reference, thickness basis and carton closure trial. For printed tape, retain the dated artwork proof. |
| Stretch film | Width and thickness; usable length; film-only, core and gross weight; roll dimensions and wrapping method. Retain: Keep the wrapper program or hand-wrap pattern, film consumed per pallet, breaks and agreed load-containment checks. |
| PP strapping | Width and thickness; surface; core and coil dimensions; machine limits and joining method. Retain: Retain the equipment model, approved sample, feed/joint trial and the coil label used for acceptance. |
| PET strapping | Dimensions and finish; breaking-force basis in N or kN; tool, joint, tension setting and edge protection. Retain: Record the agreed test method, joint checks and application trial. Strap strength alone does not establish an allowable pallet mass. |
The records available for an order depend on the product, supplier and agreed inspection scope. SAFLO does not publish unverified certificates or test results.
Samples and production trials should be used when adhesion, load containment, machine compatibility or print appearance is critical. Final product availability and test scope are confirmed before order placement.
