Risk to check
Zipper type, headspace, fill weight, and how the customer stores the product all affect the final pouch choice.
Evidence needed
Review proof, sample fill, seal checks, closure fit, print tolerance, and shipping behavior before scale.
MOQ planning
Planning range: start around 100+ pouches per SKU for validation runs; confirm final MOQ, proof timing, and production lead time by size, material, finish, and SKU count.
Failure modes
Common failure modes include stale texture, broken product, grease marks, window placement that cheapens the pack, and a fill level that makes the pouch look underpacked.
