What to record for an anilox line on a textured wine label

For an anilox line on a textured wine label, at least record the roller number, the line count and the metre count. Miss any one and the next shift can't tell whether to change the part. A fine line tied to the anilox is still there after a roll change.

The note is for the next shift

Writing only "there is an anilox line" is useless. A fine line tied to the anilox is still there after a roll change. You also need the location. If a textured wine label hits the wine name or the smallest legal text, the note has to say whether you stopped or passed it.

What to write down

Item What it's for If you leave it out
Record the roller number, the line count and the metre count. Match it to the roller, the blade or the material Next time you guess from scratch
Metre count or sheet number Find this spot again The complaint won't match
Whether it hit the wine name or the smallest legal text Decide whether to pass or stop You only keep a nice picture

Hand this to the next shift

  1. Record the roller number, the line count and the metre count.
  2. Write whether it landed on the wine name or the smallest legal text.
  3. Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
