Packaging Specification Checklist: From Enquiry to Order
A packaging order passes between the buyer, artwork team and factory. A short, consistent specification helps each person work from the same requirements.
BUILD THE PACKAGING BRIEF
1. Identify the product
State whether the contents are coffee beans, ground coffee, snacks, nuts, powder or a non-food item.
Include the filling weight and describe the filling and storage conditions.
2. Define the bag
Choose the format to discuss: for example, a stand-up bag, flat-bottom coffee bag or three-side seal pouch.
Provide the width, height and any gusset dimensions, with the measurement units.
Mark the required usable area below a zipper, flap or final seal.
