What to record for edge scum on food flexible packaging
For edge scum on food flexible packaging, at least record which colour's impression and water feed. Leave any one of these out and the next shift cannot tell whether to change a part. The dirt is only a ring around the image edge. The middle of the blank is clean.

The note is for the next shift
Writing only "there is edge scum" is useless. The dirt is only a ring around the image edge. The middle of the blank is clean. Also write where it sits. If it has already affected the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode, the note must say whether you stopped or let it go.
What to write down
| Item | What it is for | If you leave it out |
|---|---|---|
| Record which colour's impression and water feed. | Match it to a roller, a blade, or the stock | Next time you guess from zero |
| Metre count or sheet number | Find this spot again | The complaint will not line up |
| Whether it hit the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode | Pass or stop | You only keep a pretty picture |
Hand this to the next shift
- Record which colour's impression and water feed.
- Write whether it landed on the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode.
- Use the name from the name list. Do not invent another word.
