Industry Insights, No one dares to guarantee a 100% yield for their spout and cap production

Even if their extensive experience allows them to identify product defects in spouts at a glance from every 10 spout and cap, they cannot achieve a 100% inspection rate when faced with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of spouts.

Even if they can mitigate this risk by increasing the finished pouch inspection rate, it comes with a reduction in profit margins.

If the buyer is a flexible packaging manufacturer, it means there is a potential risk of “leaks” at the sealing are of spout and cap.

So, what does a spout and cap defect rate mean for buyers?

From past to present, yield inspection has always been a manual process carried out by factory quality inspectors.

Reaching 90% is probably the limit; after all, humans are not robots.

If the buyer is a product end manufacturer, in addition to bearing the potential risk of “leaks” at the spout of their finished pouches, it can also cause huge material waste and machine damage due to frequent shutdowns and adjustments of the automatic spout pouch forming/filling/sealing machine they purchased.

Who dares to guarantee a 100% yield for their spout and cap production

or even write a 100% yield directly into their sales contract?

Whether the buyer is a flexible packaging manufacturer or a product end manufacturer, this issue causes them a headache.
