write better Packaging specification...

A packaging specification is the document that removes that uncertainty. It translates a design into measurable, manufacturable, and testable requirements. It defines materials, dimensions, tolerances, performance expectations, testing methods, and approval criteria. In simple terms, it tells the supplier exactly what to make — and how to prove it works.

Whether you are working with pouches, bottles, closures, or corrugated boxes, specifications are the foundation of packaging quality and production readiness. They ensure consistency across suppliers, reduce failure during transport, and protect product performance in the market.

In this course, you will learn how to structure packaging specifications correctly, what critical elements must be included, and how testing and acceptance criteria make a specification enforceable. By the end, you will be able to create vendor-ready specifications that prevent problems before they happen.

Let’s begin by understanding why specifications are the most powerful control tool in packaging development.
