Confirm powder density, moisture sensitivity, zipper contamination risk, scoop/headspace, static or dust behavior, and whether panels leave room for nutrition or claims.
04
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, gloss or matte finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
05
Turn the notes into a revised quote brief with ingredient visibility, oil sensitivity, serving size, sku count, sample feedback, approval date, quantity per sku, target quantity, artwork status, launch timing.
