How to Identify and Report Packaging & Bottle Defects How to Identify and Report Packaging & Bottle Defects

In this post, we are going to dive a bit deeper into packaging terminology. While it doesn’t happen often, manufacturing defects do occur and it’s extremely important to be able to report back exactly where the flaw is located. Defective packaging can affect the overall quality of the product that you have worked hard to put to market.  

Here are a few examples of defects:

  • Cracks

  • Fractures

  • Stone or air bubbles in glass

  • Uneven or rough surface

 

Packaging defects may be categorized in the following manner:

  • Class A: Critical defect

    • Prevents a package from performing its intended function

    • Causes safety hazard in material handling

    • Example: Cracked glass bottle, missing liner

  • Class B: Major defect

    • Causes reduced functionality

    • Example: Heat seal too narrow

  • Class C: Minor defect

    • Affects appearance, but leaves functionality intact

    • Example: Stone or air bubbles in glass
