    PACKAGING AND DISCLAIMER

    All packaging must be subjected to the conditions that you intend the finished products to endure. In particular, please subject the packaging to the following conditions whilst fully filled:

    It will always fall to the Client to check at all times:

    1. That the packaging products are technologically suited to the purposes for which the company should intend to employ such products and that they are legally conforming to the requirements.
    2. That the packaging products are compatible with any with which the company should intend to assemble them.
    3. That the packaging products are compatible with the formula with which the same are to enter into contact;

    Therefore Australian Private Label will accept no complaint referable to the Client’s failing to run the three aforementioned checks.

    Owing to production needs, the amount of customised articles may vary upwards or downwards +/- by 10% of the quantity shown in the Order Confirmation.

    1. Test the packaging for leaks. All packaging could potentially leak, except those with a physical barrier such as an induction foil
    2. Ensure that the packaging does not leak over time - Upside down or on its side. None of the packaging sold by Australian Private Label is leak tested.
    3. Leakages of gases that will contribute to evaporation is not uncommon in a lot of packaging.
    4. If the capping is to be done with an automatic capper, please test this with the automatic capper, if capping manually, please ensure the trials are carried out with hand capping.
    5. Subject the capped product to a leaking test over the intended logistical conditions, by air, sea or land. Please note that some products may attack the plastic components of the packaging and this might reduce the sealing capability of the packaging over a period of time.

    VOLUMETRIC REQUIREMENTS

    1. There are a range of different requirements for head space and overfill. (Different customers over-fill their products to different levels, some overfill by 5ml and others by 10%) Further, some closures and crimping machines reduce the overall volumetric properties of some containers. You are encouraged to check the capacity of your intended packaging to ensure that you are satisfying your requirements of the volume you require as well as the legal requirements in the country of sale. Our volumetric labels are intended only as a guide.
    2. Filling equipment at times require a certain amount of head space depending on the viscosity of the product. This also varies greatly with the temperature of the product. Please ensure that you test the packaging for appropriate capacity with your filler at the right temperature and using the machines that are intended for production.
    3. Chemical reactions between the packaging and contents

    All packaging must be tested against chemical reactions. Different chemical compounds with varying concentration will have varying effects on the packaging. There is no substitute to testing the packaging against your intended use over time as some concentrations of common chemicals used, attack common plastic used in our packaging. Discoloration of product, rust and distortion of packaging could occur.

    DISPENSING CLOSURES

    Common failures of dispensing closures are well known.

    1. Oil based ingredients do not usually work well with mist sprays. At times this might not be evident until several weeks have passed. The failure can be manifested by leaking, failure to mist with the spray and dispensing without depressing the actuator. Whilst some of these issues can be overcome with a high density gasket mist spray, some are not easily overcome.
    2. Liquids with particulates (solids) do not mist spray well.
    3. High viscosity liquid with low surface tension such as gels and pastes do not work well with lotion or liquid pumps.
    4. Air bubbles in the fill can cause airless pumps to stop working.
