- Check support at the base and sides.
- Review exposure, handling and any sleeve or outer pack.
Separate lidA separate part closes over the rim.What to check +
- Identify both tray and lid references.
- Check seating, closure, headspace and opening with the filled sample.
Top-seal rimFilm meets the upper edge of the tray.What to check +
- Identify the film and the sealing equipment or method.
- Review the rim, contact area and actual process before agreeing a sample check.
