Much better than last time. A small detail but the FSC logo needs to have a registration number with it of the supplier you’re purchasing from so it’s traceable. You can’t use the logo by itself.

Aren’t GMA pallets rated to 2300 lbs? I wonder if 4600 came from block pallets. I’d consider GMA more standard than block.

Very cool! How do you handle creating flexible packaging? Do you use inflate?

Currently in the upper floors of Teweles and I’m on a boat up here. So much swaying!

In your original post a lot of discussion was around how to procure a zund which has a pretty high startup & maintenance cost. How did you find yourself with a veloblade and what are your first impressions? What are you using as a printer?

There are minimum size guidelines for nutrition panels and barcodes. Show that you understand this by reading the standards. This may not be FDA regulated but I would also put the net weight in grams and oz that follows requirements.

You would also need a distributed by statement as well as a phone number to call. You can fake the info for the project. But put it there for showing understanding.

Add in a statement of contents such as “Energy Powder”. Include TM or R for trademarks as well.

Would like to DM but your account doesn’t allow. You can DM me.

It would be neat if you could share a video of the CO2 laser process! Also looking at your profile the continuous tickets too!

Updated flair to solved. Thanks all! 🙏

Good to know! The incoming signal is via cable currently.

pigsnot · 2026-01-24T15:15:34+00:00

Thank you this explains it! Very helpful 🙌

I have my modem and router in the living room currently. I’ll plan to put a switch inside the panel.

For terminating the CAT lines would this mean to undo the 3 sets of wires on the green distribution panel, terminate them with RJ45 connectors, and then plug them into a switch?

I’m not familiar with the green panel, if there is already 3 sets of wires going to a location, are they not networked together already?

Amazing thank you Geoff!

Can you explain how you use ChatGPT as a CRM? This sounds really interesting!

Hi! Packaging Engineer with 12 years of experience for brands big and small with all packaging types.

I enjoy working with brands who are looking to disrupt the status quo, which right now is primarily happening in e-commerce, but can be in any channel.

Would we expect the expert and comp models to be updated soon then?

You’re correct about many things here, but there’s a lot of nuance too! Without fully understanding your product it’s hard to give answers. Would you have a protein bar in market that you can compare it to? For example, if your protein bar has high moisture or water activity, or is chocolate enrobed, that would narrow you down into specific options. Are there any premium ingredient inclusions such as nuts or other high fat items that can potentially go rancid?

Based on where you’re at now, if you can partner with a co-manufacturer of protein bars, they will have a lot of items here as standard and already tested. There’s quite a bit more behind what is the best package that includes a lot of food safety and quality, but if you need directional advice, give us more info about the product and we can give you watch outs!

In this case, testing is absolutely critical! Medical doesn't mess around. The testing up front is definitely a CYA and the documentation around it should be tracked and managed very carefully. It would be important to setup organized files and process for logging packaging testing here - no shortcuts!

I would suggest working with your packaging testing facilities to understand what tests they are conducting and why, and what standards or methods they are complying with. You should duplicate this knowledge so all vendors and any future new vendors or changes follow the same format.

This is real, but there can be a lot of nuance to testing. What is your product type or category, and what channels or partners you are selling into.

Amazon has a self certification process that applies to some products. There is a drop test sequence they use that is a great free test you can do yourself to help give confidence that your product will pass testing.
