Start with the contents
Identify the food product and its handling considerations. The packaging material, closure, filling method and label must be appropriate for the intended use. Avoid choosing by appearance alone or assuming that an example photograph demonstrates verified compatibility.
Consider the journey
Is the package intended for a distributor, food service, industrial use, or a final consumer? How will it be packed, stored and transported? Are there language or labeling needs for a particular market? Capture these questions early, even if the details remain unresolved.
Write a useful brief
Describe preferred size or capacity if known, material requirements, closure concept, target quantity, packaging artwork status and intended market. The recipient can then assess whether the requested service can be offered. A packaging inquiry does not establish that PACKMAN EG operates any particular production line.
