Tape Placement

Tape centered over the main seam critical (required)

Tape should be centered over the carton seam with no significant offset that exposes the seam or reduces seal integrity.

Yes No N/A

Tape fully bridges the seam without gaps critical (required)

No open gaps should be visible along the sealed seam.

Yes No N/A

Tape adheres to both carton panels evenly critical (required)

Tape must contact both sides of the seam with consistent adhesion and no lifted edges.

Yes No N/A

Tape placement matches the approved pattern

Verify the tape pattern matches the approved carton sealing method, such as center seam only or center plus edge reinforcement.

Yes No N/A

Wrap Coverage and Seal Integrity

Tape coverage meets required seam length critical (required)

Tape should cover the full required seam length per specification, including any required overlap at the ends.

Yes No N/A

Required overlap or end wrap is present critical (required)

Where specified, tape should wrap sufficiently onto the carton faces to prevent peel-back at the seam ends.

Yes No N/A

No wrinkles, folds, or fish-eyes affecting adhesion

Tape should lay flat and uniform without wrinkles, trapped air, or surface defects that reduce bond strength.

Yes No N/A

No lifted corners, loose edges, or visible delamination critical (required)

Any lifted tape edge or delamination is a non-conformance because it can lead to seal failure in handling.

Yes No N/A

Pull-Off Test

Pull-off test performed on the sample carton critical (required)

Confirm the pull-off test was completed using the approved method for the carton type and tape specification.

Yes No N/A

Pull-off force recorded critical (required)

Record the measured pull-off force in newtons or the unit specified by the packaging standard.

Pull-off result meets acceptance criteria critical (required)

The measured result must meet or exceed the minimum adhesion requirement defined in the SOP or packaging specification.

Yes No N/A

Failure mode documented if test did not pass

Describe whether failure occurred by tape lift, carton fiber tear, seam separation, or another observed defect.

Corrective Actions and Sign-Off

Non-conformances documented and assigned corrective action critical (required)
