Sample goal
prepare samples that photograph cleanly while still reflecting the real production direction
Sample SKUs
Tomato Basil, Miso, Chicken Noodle, Lentil
Material start
Powder and dry blend barrier film
Approval criteria
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, matte finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
Risk to catch
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.
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.
