What evidence should be agreed before acceptance testing for sachet liquid fillers?
In brief
Accept a liquid sachet filling process against the agreed completed-pack results, not the delivered dose alone. Record individual quantity results together with seal and leak checks, appearance, code readability and the intended handling of rejected or uncertain packs.
Agree the methods and limits before the trial. The specification checklist connects those results to the liquid, film, production pattern and cleaning or change sequence.
On the production floor
Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Sachet Liquid Fillers
Plan sachet liquid fillers around your product, pack range, target output, cleaning needs and finished-pack checks. Discuss a practical line concept with Lancing using representative samples. Use this guide to resolve finished-pack checks and reject handling before it limits the final system.
Finished-Pack Checks and Reject Handling: condition, range and effect on your process
Current condition
State the agreed quantity, seal, leak, appearance and code checks, their limits and the sampling record. Keep the liquid condition, film identity, operating state and any filling-position identity with each result and retained failed sample.
Realistic range
Cover start-up, stable production, replenishment and a planned pause and restart using representative liquid and film. Include the agreed product-change and first-off release sequence; distinguish accepted sachets from trial rejects, liquid loss and rejected film.
Effect on the system
Separate a quantity failure from seal contamination or a leak when recording results. Agree what is held, checked or removed after an abnormal result and which first-off checks are needed before production resumes; do not infer the cause from one average value.

Five questions about finished-pack checks and reject handling for your application
Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for finished-pack checks and reject handling in production, quality, engineering or operations.
How representative is the sample?Include age, supplier, batch, environment and upstream process state where they affect sachet liquid fillers.
What is the difficult condition?Include an agreed representative interruption or product-change sequence and the packs requiring first-off checks. Record drips, strings, splashes or contaminated seals when observed, retaining affected samples and their conditions for review.
How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
What else must be coordinated?Your final sachet liquid fillers scope must also account for cleaning, access and changeover method, finished-pack checks and reject handling, current regulations and the conditions at your site.
Connected details
Record the six parts of a liquid sachet acceptance trial
Question 1
Liquid at the filler
Record the batch, liquid temperature and the condition at the filling point. Note foaming, separation or particles if they occur during the run.
Question 2
Film and sachet revision
Label retained packs with the film and artwork revision, nominal sachet dimensions and the opening feature being tested.
Question 3
Individual dose results
Write down the stated unit, target, agreed limits and individual readings. Keep readings from different operating conditions separate.
Question 4
Accepted packs over time
For each agreed run, count saleable packs and rejected packs separately. Mark starts, replenishment, planned stops and restarts in the record.
Question 5
First packs after a change
Record the change or cleaning sequence and identify the first packs checked after restart. Name the person responsible for release against the agreed method.
Question 6
Failures and follow-up
Keep a failed sachet with its operating conditions. Record whether quantity, seal, leak, appearance or code failed, what was held and what needs checking again.
