Brief
Capture food, coffee, supplements, pet, frozen, refill, and specialty retail launches channel, SKU count, target quantity, product behavior, and the reason stand-up, flat-bottom, spout, window, and high-barrier pouch formats is being considered.
Dieline
Confirm panel layout, seal zones, gusset, zipper/spout/window placement, barcode area, bleed, and copy ownership before artwork is finalized.
Powder handling
For powders, validate fill dust, zipper contamination, scoop access, headspace, and moisture-risk assumptions.
Freezer handling
For frozen products, sample against cold-chain scuffing, puncture, frost, and low-temperature seal performance.
Fitment review
For refill or liquid products, validate spout size, cap, pouch posture, viscosity, squeeze behavior, and leakage risk before scaling.
Pet food label and freshness review
For pet food and treats, confirm species, feeding panel, net weight, fat/aroma barrier, crumb behavior, repeat-open zipper, and retailer shelf expectations before scaling.
Valve and date-code review
For coffee, confirm valve position, roast-date/date-code zone, whole bean vs ground format, and post-roast pack-out assumptions.
Digital proof
Review color, copy, SKU names, claims, barcode, finish, material notes, and approval owner for every variant.
Production QC
Check print alignment, seal areas, closure behavior, case-pack scuffing, and whether the sample still works at real fill weight.
Reorder
After launch, compare sell-through by SKU against lead time and set reorder points before winners stock out.
