RFQ checklist

Confirm target market and regulatory label requirements.
Send size in mm, product weight, filling condition and shelf-life target.
Confirm material structure, surface finish, barcode/QR position and quantity.
Ask for sample approval before bulk production.

Factory Engineering Workflow

Real Factory Testing Process

Confirm DataMatrix content, GTIN, batch, expiry and serial data before variable printing.
Use CTP plate output and maintain registration tolerance around ±0.15 mm.
Verify ISO/IEC 15415 grade before folding and again after gluing.
Use carton separator or controlled packing to protect code panels during export.

Common Buyer Mistakes

Putting variable code inside varnished or foil-stamped zones.
Changing paperboard after code approval without re-verification.
Allowing glue overflow near barcode or QR code area.

Buyer Decision Tree

Use 300gsm C1S for standard pharma folding cartons.
Use 350gsm SBS when stronger stiffness and premium print surface are required.
Use camera inspection when every carton must carry unique data.
Keep code placement on a flat printable panel away from crease lines.
