Risk to check
Finish should follow shelf cue, buyer expectation, handling marks, and whether a window or metallic detail is doing the selling.
Evidence needed
Map the feature to shelf-life, buyer trust, damage risk, and reorder confidence before finalizing the pack.
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.
Failure modes
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.
