Quality evidence
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, gloss or matte finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
Failure risk
Common failure modes include powder in the zipper, clumping from moisture, dusty seal areas, unclear serving panels, and a pouch that tips because headspace was not planned.
