QUESTIONS ANSWERED

About quality checking

How are packing quality checks agreed?

The brief should state what is being checked, the reference standard, when checks take place and what happens if a pack does not meet an acceptance point.

Can quality checking be part of another packing service?

Yes. Relevant checks can be built into hand packing, kitting, promotional packing or rework rather than treated as a separate final step.

What can be used as the reference standard?

Depending on the job, the reference may be an approved sample, a component list, a written packing instruction, clear photographs or a combination of these.
