Cold chain, condensation, grease. The real test is not in the plant — it is the road from the freezer to the shelf.

Problems

Three problems to solve first

Cold chain and condensation

Out of minus eighteen, the bottle sweats immediately. Paper takes up water, wrinkles and lets go. Film holds.

Oil and wet hands

Grease on the filling line kills the adhesive. What you need is an oil-resistant adhesive, not a thicker face stock.

Packaging regulation

EU 94/62/EC governs heavy metals in packaging; the US adds TPCH and TSCA. Buyers ask for these at every audit.
