Food-Grade Paper Can Spec Checklist
Food-grade paper can checklist: contact type, liner, seals, odor, documents, and sample gates. Freeze the structure before China mass print.
Quick answer
A usable food-grade paper can checklist freezes contact scenario, liner/barrier, seal/closure, odor limits, and evidence documents before artwork. “Food safe” without a structure annex is not a specification.
What contact case must you state?
Direct vs secondary contact, dry vs oily foods, and fill/storage temperature change liner and ink rules. Outer print alone is not a food-contact system.
Which documents belong on the PO?
Request structure freeze, supplier declarations appropriate to your markets, lot coding, and change-control rules. Marketing PDFs are not enough for brand legal review.
