3 Properties and Quality Assurance

3.1 Exquisite print quality

The artwork is achieved in gravure printing on our rotogravure print press which can print up to maximum 10 colors.This advanced technology allows for exceptional detail, vibrant tones, and consistent quality across large production runs.

Equipped with state-of-the-art print techniques and an automatic defect inspection system, we ensure every package meets the highest standards of accuracy and visual appeal. The result is a stunning reproduction of our customers’ artwork, delivering premium shelf impact and brand recognition.

In our manufacturing plant, we take serious measures to achieve high color fidelity and consistency for repeated printed orders, and here we are going to give a basic introduction.

a.  Color Analyzer

This color analyzer is one of the auxiliary tools in our system to achieve the highest standard for color fidelity. The eXact Advanced doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it can simultaneously measure four M modes to visualize the spectral reflectance of a substrate or ink, measure the concentration of a specific ink, and measure the difference of a substrate or ink over white and over black.

b. Pantone Color Code

Pantone color guide would be so helpful to locate a specific color for the pring service supplier and the customers, especially there is a large area printed in single Pantone color. For many Pantone colors, the accurateness may be influenced by the printer, paper substrate and environmental factors when it is printed onto physical photo paper. We will locate the Pantone Color Code with the customers in their artwork design before the order is put into produce.

c. Physical Printed On Photo Paper

The computer files such as JPG, PDF, PSD, AI etc can not be taken as the guide to determine the color in print produce, as they present the colors through electronic screening devices. And different electronic screens may be set in different parameters by the various manufacturers, which will inevitably interfere with the colore presentation. Artwork can only be a reliable guide when printed on physical substrate, with the most common photo paper applied.

Here, please allow us to guide you further into our QC system.

4.1 Manufacturing Traceback

We apply a strict recording system to document the manufacturing details, such as environmental conditions, craftsmanship parameters, production facility conditions, etc, which allows us to trace back whenever there is a problem.

4.2 QC Test Report Against Each Order

There will be a QC test report issued against each order produced, with the core items evaluated in it.  It is highly appreciated by our customers.

You may read here to understand the QC test report for an order of 250g and 1000g coffee bags.

4.3 Print Inspection

In our manufacturing plant, the print inspection is always taken and done in a serious way, as we will never allow the customer artwork to be achieved in a way that deteriorate their business. On our gravure print press, there is in-line inspection system which can eliminate more than 98% of the defects in the printing process.

You may check how it works on our control panel.

There is also a supplementary off-line inspection equipment, to allow us to do the print inspection again whenever it seems necessary.

We are now producing coffee bags against customer artwork, and we surely love to support the startup and market-testing period for our customers. We will accept a minimum order quantity of 10,000 bags printed against customer artwork design.

4.4 Airtight Property Test

The finished coffee bag should be completely airtight, to get the products well-protected from oxygen and moisture in the environment. We perform the airtight property test against each order with the device as below.

In actual operation, we will pick up 1 bag every 1,000 pcs, and perform the test following the procedure in our QC manual.

4.5 Drop Test

Drop test should be considered as a very reliable way to check if the stand up bag strength is enough to meet the various conditions, as it copies the way when the products falls off the good shelves, and the finished bag will suffer great sudden shock. In our daily QC work, We perform drop test against each order, of course, the standard for this drop test should be decided against customer needs.

Here, we are going to drop the filled stand up pouch from 1.6m high, for 5 times.

You are advised to watch the video below, for a further understanding.

After 5 drops for each bag, none of them breaks,  all are fine and dandy.

4.6 Hard Sudden Strikes on inflated coffee bags

Hard sudden strikes should be taken as a more fierce test method than drop test, as it causes much higher force on inflated packages.

Let’s watch the video to understand how we perform this test in our manufacturing plant.

4.7 Anti-Pressure Test

Pressure-resistance test is another effective method to decide if the final package will serve as great protection for the products, especially liquid products, like household detergent liquids, and windshield washer fluids. For coffee bags, we will perform the anti-pressure test in our daily QC work, to ensure each order is finished with great mechanical strength.

The leakage or breakage of the coffee bag will surely be a disaster, either for the distributor or the manufacturer.  We will never expect this thing happens in our customer’s business.

Sometimes, for easier and fast operation, we may just get one person to stand on the well-sealed and inflated coffee bag, to check if there is any burst of them.

4.8 Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests are essential to keep us updated with the intrinsic properties of the foil materials which are not visible to the human eyes. It is crucial for gaining a thorough understanding of the data about the production of our bags. The craftsmanship can be improved bit by bit to pursue premium quality bags based on thorough analysis and application of these data.
