Name it wrong and you will adjust the wrong place
It is bands of light and dark across the web or around it. If you call it something else, you will skip this step: Measure the pitch and take it to a roller or a gear. Do not change the formula first. On a food web, the ingredient list and the heat-seal area decide whether it can go out, but they do not decide what to call it.
How to split them
| What you see | Closer to | How to split |
|---|---|---|
| It is bands of light and dark across the web or around it. | Banding | Name it from a single white spot |
| Mottling has no fixed pitch. | Treat it as that other defect | Use the same adjustment |
| The place is the ingredient list and the heat-seal area | Hold this place first | Ignore the place just to name it |
