What to record for trailing dots on a pharmaceutical label
For trailing dots on a pharmaceutical label, at least record the direction, the impression, and the viscosity. Leave any one of these out and the next shift cannot tell whether to change a part. The dot trails a small tail, and the direction stays the same.

The note is for the next shift
Writing only "there is trailing dots" is useless. The dot trails a small tail, and the direction stays the same. Also write where it sits. If it has already affected the batch code, the expiry date, 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 the direction, the impression, and the viscosity. | 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 batch code, the expiry date, or a barcode | Pass or stop | You only keep a pretty picture |
Hand this to the next shift
- Record the direction, the impression, and the viscosity.
- Write whether it landed on the batch code, the expiry date, or a barcode.
- Use the name from the name list. Do not invent another word.
