It guides operators to run a test box past the inkjet head and confirm Best Before (364 days from production) or Packed On (current date) coding. Capture product information, reason for check (startup, size change, product change), printer type (film or box), label checks for flats and boxes, crate tag color, date type, printed information, alignment, and any corrective actions. Includes verification, assessor signature, and management review fields to support traceability and compliance in food and beverage packaging operations.
