Food Packaging Checklist

Startups, new product launches, line expansions, or companies searching for a new cap supplier must consider several preliminary questions before diving into specific requirements. This checklist can help ensure food safety and quality, address compliance issues and initiate a discussion about the best ways to communicate brand identity and stand out in a competitive food market. 

☐  Are you packaging pourable, squeezable or dry goods?  

☐  Is your product sensitive to light, air or moisture?  

☐  Are you looking for an eco-friendly closure solution?  

☐  Does your product need a tamper-evident seal?  

☐  Do you require a closure that can resist potential interactions with oils, acids or other food components?  

☐  Does your product require packaging to meet a long shelf life? 

☐  Do you need a closure with a built-in dispenser?  

☐  Does your packaging need to comply with specific recycling and disposal regulations in target markets?  

☐  Do you need the closure to perform well both on store shelves and in e-commerce scenarios?  

☐  Do you require any additional product protection for items shipped directly to the consumer?  

☐  Do you have any specific brand requirements, such as color matching?  

☐  Are you looking for customization, such as embossing, stamping or digital printing?  

☐  Does your product need certification for shipping? 

By carefully considering these questions, including new factors related to e-commerce growth and changing consumer preferences, we can help you select the most appropriate closure for your food products. This approach promotes safety, compliance, freshness and product quality and boosts consumer satisfaction throughout the product lifecycle.
