Bulk Coating Orders: Separate Filling Trials from Customer Stock

A filling trial consumes material for setup, adjustment and inspection. Treating all trial output as saleable stock can hide process losses and release packaging that has not been accepted.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Allocate a defined trial quantity. Identify trial bottles clearly, check the closure and dispensing method, then record which units are retained, rejected or approved through the agreed process.

A brand orders material for 200 bottles but needs repeated adjustments to its filler. The trial allocation should appear in the quantity plan before the customer delivery promise is made.

Decision limits

A successful fill does not approve the entire packaging system. Include storage, handling and label checks before converting trial units into ordinary stock.
