What to record for a hickey on corrugated preprint

A hickey on corrugated preprint must at least keep this: the color unit where it showed and the approximate position on the circumference. Miss any one and the next shift cannot tell whether to change a part.

Hickey on corrugated preprint

The record is for the next shift

Writing only “there is a hickey” is useless. A white spot with a fiber or an ink ring in the middle. It also needs a location. If corrugated preprint hits the barcode or the large product name, the record must say already stopped or already released.

What to write down

Item What it is for If it is missing
The color unit where it showed, and the approximate position on the circumference. Match it to the roll, the blade, or the material Next time you guess from zero
Metres or sheet number Find this spot again The complaint will not match
Whether it hit the barcode or the large product name Decide release or stop You only keep a nice picture

Hand it to the next shift

  1. Note the color unit and the approximate position on the circumference.
  2. Write whether it landed on the barcode or the large product name.
  3. Use the name on the name list. Do not invent another word.
