Primary focus
seal strength, fill contamination, fitment placement, and handling after packing
Likely failure modes
Common failure modes include stale texture, broken product, grease marks, window placement that cheapens the pack, and a fill level that makes the pouch look underpacked.
Material evidence
Confirm grease or aroma migration, crunch protection, window placement, reseal behavior, crush risk, and whether the bag looks full at the target fill weight.
QC checks
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, soft-touch or matte finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
Sample set
Chicken Bites, Salmon Snacks, Training Minis, Dental Chews
MOQ planning
Planning range: start around 100+ pouches per SKU for validation runs; confirm final MOQ, proof timing, and production lead time by size, material, finish, and SKU count.
