Define packaging and private-label scope before artwork starts.

Private-label review should start from the approved product reference, quantity, destination and packaging baseline, not from artwork alone.

Packaging scope

Separate product approval from package approval.

The product, label, unit package, carton and artwork each need an owner, version and acceptance point.

Unit package

Unit package

Confirm bag, sleeve, box, label language, product identity and the product family covered by each package.

Label and barcode

Label and barcode

Record barcode owner, barcode type, printed value, destination requirements and revision control.

Brand artwork

Brand artwork

Freeze brand name, buyer part number, artwork file, approval owner and any on-product marking requirement.

Master carton

Master carton

Align carton quantity, carton marks, mixed-SKU rules, pallet requirements and inspection points.

Private-label worksheet

Put product identity, marking and packaging in one review file.

The private-label CSV keeps product reference, buyer part number, label, barcode, carton and approval fields separate so unresolved items remain visible.

Approval boundary

Do not turn package approval into fitment approval.

Packaging approval confirms the presentation and labeling scope. Product fitment, supply availability and commercial terms remain tied to the applicable RFQ and written offer.

DecisionPackaging recordConfirm separately
Identity

Brand, buyer number, package label and barcode value.

Application fitment and approved product reference.

Artwork

Artwork file, language, revision and sample approval owner.

Trademark rights, market-specific legal text and buyer brand authorization.

Carton

Unit quantity, carton marks and destination handling requirements.

Freight basis, palletization, container loading and final shipping documents.

Private-label feasibility depends on product reference, quantity, destination, artwork scope and written approval.
