Information collector only. This sheet does not recommend a film, machine setting, seal condition, or operating speed.
When to use it
Use it before an RFQ, second-source review, trial discussion, or handoff between operations, procurement, and a packaging supplier.
What you need
- Machine nameplate or manual
- Current roll label
- Known web, repeat, core, OD, and unwind
- Current film and gauge if documented
Worked example
An operator records the flow-wrapper model, 16.25-inch web, 10-inch repeat, 3-inch core, and current unwind, then attaches the sheet to the RFQ.
Common mistakes
- Guessing an unwind or maximum OD
- Using this sheet as a film recommendation
- Treating an observed speed as a guaranteed target
Buyer questions
What if I only know the manufacturer and model?
Record those and leave the rest blank. The machine manual, OEM, current roll label, or operations team may help confirm missing facts.
Will this recommend a compatible film?
No. Compatibility and settings require technical review by the responsible supplier, OEM, and production team.
