Downloads & Checklists

The downloads in this library are practical working tools for developing a packaging project. They help you organize the information behind a design choice, a component match or a sample approval. You can use them with your own team before speaking with PauPack, or work through the relevant sections together during development. They are designed to make the conversation clearer, especially when several people contribute references and requirements.

You do not need a completed technical specification to begin. Record what you know and identify the decisions that are still open. A useful brief explains the product and the result you want, while leaving room for the development team to compare suitable options. The tools can be updated as those choices become more specific.

Use the project brief to connect the product, brand direction and commercial context. Include the intended application, proposed container format, visual references and the components you expect to need. Your target quantity, destination and launch timing help frame the discussion. If you have an existing sample or drawing, note the reference and explain which features you want to keep or change.

This brief is especially useful when the project includes a bottle, closure, decoration and paper packaging. Instead of sending separate instructions for each item, it gives the team one description of the complete result. Keep the latest version with the project so later choices can be checked against the original priorities.

Use the matching checklist when a bottle, pump, cap or other component needs to work with an existing or proposed counterpart. Record the available references and the intended function. A photograph can communicate appearance, while a drawing or physical sample provides more information for reviewing the interface. Include any known filling, handling or dispensing requirements.

The checklist helps keep the complete combination visible during selection. If a component changes, update the reference and review the effect on the assembly. Similar appearance or a shared nominal size should be treated as a starting point for evaluation, rather than proof that two parts will perform identically.

Use the approval checklist to identify the sample version, the points reviewed and the result of that review. Separate appearance, component fit, function and packing, and record any open questions. Where a change is requested, describe the affected area so the next sample has a clear purpose. Keep relevant artwork and component references alongside the approval notes.

These downloads are planning checklists, not product specifications or test reports. Product-specific drawings, material information and other documents are discussed for the selected project. Once your brief is ready, follow the relevant quote, custom-project or sample-matching link and tell PauPack which decisions you would like help resolving.

The printable versions are useful for a meeting or sample review. The editable versions allow you to keep the information with the project and revise it as decisions are made. Add reference names consistently so your designer, filling partner and packaging contact are discussing the same items. The value comes from a clear shared record, not from completing every field before the first conversation.
