The note is for the next shift

Writing only “there is a gear mark” is useless. Light and dark bands repeat at a fixed tooth pitch. Also give the place. If the cosmetics carton affects the brand mark or a solid of the brand colour, The note must say whether you already stopped or already let it go.

What to write down

Note the pitch, the colour unit, and the gear side. Match it to a roller, a blade, or the stock Next time you guess from zero
Metres or sheet number Find this spot again A complaint will not match
Whether it hit the brand mark or a solid of the brand colour Decide release or stop You only keep a pretty picture

Hand this to the next shift
