Coating Carton Artwork: Match the Pack Quantity to the Contents Specification

A shipping carton's printed quantity must match the approved packing configuration. When the inner pack changes, review the carton and operational records together rather than updating only the bottle or sales page.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

The key distinction

Quantity information can appear in several places: artwork, identifiers, warehouse records and order documents. A coordinated change prevents staff from treating an old carton as evidence of current contents. The approval should specify which configuration each carton revision represents and how mixed stocks will be distinguished.

Practical checks

  1. Link the carton artwork to the approved contents specification.
  2. Check quantity and product identity on a packed representative case.
  3. Define how superseded cartons are controlled when the configuration changes.

Example

Illustrative example: a brand moves from twelve bottles per case to ten, but a repeat carton order uses the old artwork. The physical contents and printed claim now disagree. A cross-check against the packing specification would catch the error before dispatch and receiving disputes.

Scope and limits

Do not conceal a quantity mismatch with an informal mark unless the responsible packaging process approves the correction and preserves required information. This guide does not establish NANOLAB case quantities. Use the actual commercial and production records for the product being supplied.
