What to write down for reticulation on a cosmetics carton

For reticulation on a cosmetics carton, at least write this: the material lot and the viscosity. Miss any one of them and the next shift cannot tell whether a part should be changed. The ink face pulls into pinpoints and will not lay flat.

Reticulation on a cosmetics carton

This note is for the next shift

Writing only "there is reticulation" does nothing. The ink face pulls into pinpoints and will not lay flat. You also need the place. On a cosmetics carton, if it affects the brand mark or the brand-colour solid, the note must say whether you stopped or let it go.

What to write down

Item What it is for If you skip it
Material lot and viscosity. Match it to a roll, a blade, or the stock Next time you guess from zero
Metre mark or sheet number Find this spot again A complaint will not line up
Whether it hit the brand mark or the brand-colour solid Decide to ship or to stop You only keep a nice picture

Hand it to the next shift

  1. Write down the material lot and the viscosity.
  2. Write whether it landed on the brand mark or the brand-colour solid.
  3. Use the name from the name list. Do not invent another word.
