Your product.
The agreed finished pack.
Review the product, packaging and responsibility split before planning a packing programme around your specification.
Define what arrives and what should leave.
Bring the product and the packing requirement together.
Start with the product you will supply, its specification and the finished pack you need. We review line suitability, handling, packaging and the approvals required for the proposed programme.
If the project also needs product manufacture or development, include that requirement so the team can assess the appropriate scope.
- Incoming product
Physical form, specification, allergen information, shelf life, storage and the pack in which it arrives.
- Finished pack
Format, fill weight, unit count, case configuration, artwork and destination language.
- The programme
Quantities, material ownership, trial needs, acceptance criteria and proposed timing.
Assess the pack and the product as one requirement.
Formats are assessed for the selected product. The list is a brief checklist, rather than a promise that every material can use every pack.
| Pack question | Information to provide | What is reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Primary format | Sachet, stick, pouch, jar, tub or other proposed format, with dimensions and fill weight. | Suitability for the specific product and packing line. |
| Material supply | Which packaging and product you will supply; specifications and availability. | Acceptance requirements, compatibility and the supply responsibilities. |
| Coding & identification | Required batch code, date format, barcode, language and label content. | The agreed print/coding standard and approval responsibility. |
| Case & pallet | Units per case, outer dimensions and intended shipping configuration. | Handling, finished-goods identification and dispatch information. |
Keep responsibility clear through the packing programme.
| Stage | Agree together |
|---|---|
| Before receipt | Product and packaging specifications, identification, required documents, delivery condition and acceptance criteria. |
| During storage & use | Ownership, handling conditions, permitted use, the packing quantity and material traceability requirements. |
| During packing | Trial or first-run checks, fill/coding requirements, in-process controls and acceptance criteria. |
| After the run | Finished quantity, treatment of unused materials, reconciliation expectations and release or collection arrangements. |

Questions to settle early.
Can we supply our own packaging?
Identify the materials, supplier, specification, quantities and availability in your brief. Suitability and acceptance requirements are reviewed before the packing programme is confirmed.
Can you source packaging instead?
Tell us which parts you expect FlavourTech to supply. Sourcing responsibilities, specifications, minimums and approvals are agreed for the project.
What product information is needed?
The physical form, complete specification, ingredients and allergens, storage, shelf life and proposed handling conditions, together with the required finished pack.
What happens to unused product or packaging?
Agree ownership, storage or return arrangements and reconciliation expectations in the project terms before materials are committed.
Can you confirm a packing date immediately?
Timing is confirmed after technical suitability, materials, approvals and the proposed packing programme are reviewed. Share the required milestones so the team can assess the brief.
Which documents should we review?
Request current site documents relevant to the activity, the agreed product/pack standard, acceptance criteria, and the identification and release records required for your project.
Review your packing requirement.
