When a wrinkle shows on a cosmetics carton, what do you move first
When a wrinkle shows on a cosmetics carton, check tension, alignment, and the idler rolls first. Do not add impression. Change only this one thing. Look again in the same place after you change it. A slanted or straight crease, and the ink breaks on the crease.

Move one thing first
If the wrinkle repeats, stop. Do not print out the whole run. If it has already hit the brand mark or the brand-colour solid, stop first, then adjust. Do not try it while the press keeps running. A doctor-blade line is straight, and it sits in the same place on every impression in the machine direction.
Order
| Do this first | Do not do this first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check tension, alignment, and the idler rolls first. Do not add impression. | Change ink, pressure, and speed at the same time | Change three things at once and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the brand mark or the brand-colour solid | Try it while the job keeps running | Scrap keeps going |
| Log the crease direction and the tension setting. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this behind
- Check tension, alignment, and the idler rolls first. Do not add impression.
- In the same place, confirm whether the wrinkle has eased.
- Log the crease direction and the tension setting.
