Can I compare this FR5 vacuum tool using our actual printed cartons?

The supplier used a smooth carton in the vacuum demonstration. Our printed cartons have two board finishes and a seam under the proposed pickup area. What should their next comparison show before we accept the concept?

Your normal packed cartons, not a new smooth example with your logo on it.

Are they proposing to move the tape or change the carton?

No packaging change in the offer. I sent ordinary packed examples from both finishes, with the seams left as supplied.

Good. Ask them to report the awkward result as well as the successful one. If one construction is excluded, that is a scope decision somebody at your end must make.

Include preparation and the receiving task in the comparison. A pickup that needs somebody to flatten each top can change the staffing assumption.

One finish passed their initial holding check. The other did not maintain the required hold over its seam. They offered a revised contact arrangement, not extra carton preparation.

Does the new arrangement fit the receiving space?

The first revision did not. Its wider body conflicted with our receiving guide. They have withdrawn that revision and are checking a different layout of contacts.

That is why the destination belongs in the trial. Are they keeping both board finishes in the next comparison, Harish?

Yes, with the original seams and contents. The new proposed outline clears the guide in the combined drawing, but the physical comparison is not complete.

Keep the planned order quantity beside the eventual preparation and changeover timing. A promising sample result does not supply those labour figures.

Who will handle a failed pickup in the proposed job?
