Seal Integrity
Request seal strength and burst testing before full production, validate sealing windows with your co-packer, and spot-check at receiving.
Fitment Compatibility
Not all zippers, sliders, valves, and spouts are equal. Match viscosity, fill method, and end-use to the correct fitment to minimize consumer complaints and returns. For context on how these choices impact total value, see our head-to-head comparison.
Consumer Education
On-pack messaging and retailer signage can reframe the change as a benefit: portability, resealability, and reduced plastic.
Barrier Selection & Compliance
Choose barrier structures based on product sensitivity (oxygen, moisture, UV). Align claims (recyclable, compostable) with regulations and documentation for each market.
Launch with Confidence
Run small pilots, validate fitments, and lock specs before scaling. For a strategic overview of benefits that motivate the switch, visit the pillar page.
