Sample goal
test product fill, shipping, shelf behavior, and reorder signal before scaling
Sample SKUs
House Blend, Single Origin, Decaf, Cold Brew Roast
Material start
Aroma barrier laminate with valve option
Approval criteria
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, matte or paper-touch finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
Risk to catch
Common failure modes include aroma loss, valve placement errors, oil marks on matte films, weak reseal behavior, and origin variants that lose hierarchy on shelf.
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.
