Keep dimensions and payload separate
The guide references 20 × 20, 27 × 30 and 27 × 40 mm films, with low, medium and higher loading examples. These are selection references. They do not establish universal maximum active capacity because different ingredients and film matrices behave differently.
Reconcile the source with the custom brief
The Word brief also mentions a common 20 × 30 mm size. A supplier should explain which format fits the actual formula, handling needs and sachet system. Do not select a size solely because it appears next to a source payload number.
Confirm what the drawings measure
Clarify whether a dimension applies to the cut film, sachet, retail box or shipping carton. The guide uses different dimensions for these components. Check tolerances, usable internal space and count in a physical prototype before locking artwork or ordering materials.
Questions to put in your brief
- Cut film size
- Ingredient loading feasibility
- Primary sachet size
- Carton internal fit
- Approved technical drawings
Record the answers against the exact formula, packaging configuration and destination market. Mark an item as confirmed only when the applicable evidence or written agreement exists. If an answer is still a target, identify the study, sample evaluation or document review that will resolve it before specification approval.
Turn the discussion into a project
Send the team a non-confidential brief with your ingredient direction, intended market, requested amount per film, flavor, pack count and timing. Ask for a scope that separates development, analytical work, packaging, manufacturing and external charges. Where the concept differs from the published caffeine reference project, confirm its own sample terms, MOQ and timeline.
