Product and distribution inputs to collect
- Adhesive compatibility
- Use case
- Moisture behaviour
- Test method
- Target quantity and SKU allocation
- Approval sample and decision owner
- Required date and Mainland China delivery point
- Change and repeat-order record
Structural decision
Four checks before freezing the structure
Adhesive compatibility
Match adhesive to surface energy, coating, temperature, load and ageing; initial tack alone does not prove long-term performance.
Use case
Separate retail display, e-commerce delivery, gifting, storage and transport needs because they create different performance priorities.
Moisture behaviour
Consider storage humidity, paper conditioning, curling and dimensional change before printing, lamination and die cutting.
Test method
Name the method, conditioning, equipment, units and pass criteria; words such as strong or durable are not measurable specifications.
Execution method
Four actions from RFQ to production
Measure the packed product
Use production-representative product dimensions, weight and fragile areas.
Prototype the structure
Test fit, opening, closing, assembly and packing before visual artwork is final.
Test the distribution route
Include stacking, handling, e-commerce or retail conditions that the pack will face.
Release the matched dieline
Link the final geometry, material and approved physical sample as one standard.
FAQ
Questions buyers often ask
How should adhesive be selected for custom stickers?
Match adhesive to the real surface, curvature, temperature, moisture, application pressure, dwell time and removal expectation.
What should be written in the specification?
At minimum, define Adhesive compatibility, Use case, Moisture behaviour, Test method, then link quantity, sample, timing, inspection and the approved revision.
Is a physical sample needed?
A decision involving structure, material, colour, finish, assembly or use performance normally needs a physical sample matched to that question; a screen proof cannot approve everything.
Can the previous standard be reused for a repeat order?
Reuse a controlled standard only when files, material, structure, supply chain and use conditions remain unchanged. Record every change and decide whether resampling or reapproval is required.
