Primary focus
seal strength, fill contamination, fitment placement, and handling after packing
Likely failure modes
Common failure modes include brittle seals, hazy windows, frost-obscured product visibility, film scuffing, and weak shelf presence under freezer lighting.
Material evidence
Confirm freezer flex resistance, seal behavior after cold exposure, window haze, frost handling, shipper conditions, and whether the film stays readable in the freezer aisle.
QC checks
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, matte or gloss finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
