Quality Assurance & Traceability

Every Roll Has a Controlled History

PetiPaper controls the journey from incoming base paper and PE resin through coating, inspection, release, and shipment records--so approved samples, mass production, and any future investigation can be connected to the same documented specification.

01

Specification Locked

Approved sample and agreed tolerances define the production target.

02

Batch Identified

Production and inspection records are linked to batch numbers.

03

Evidence Retained

COAs, retained samples, and shipment evidence support review.

Control Principle

Documented inputs. Controlled process. Traceable output.

Incoming Check

In-Process Control

Shipment Linkage

Built Around Buyer Risk

Control What Matters After the Sample Is Approved

A sample alone is not enough. The production specification, inspection criteria, batch records, and retained references work together to reduce uncertainty across repeat orders.

Sample-to-Mass Variation

The approved sample, final specification, tolerances, and reference requirements are formally aligned before mass production release.

Batch Performance Concerns

Key material and process conditions are checked and recorded to support consistency in coating, grammage, moisture, surface quality, and roll condition.

Issues Without a Clear History

Batch numbering, COAs, retained samples, and shipment records create an evidence path for reviewing affected material and circumstances.

End-to-End Control Flow

From Incoming Materials to Shipment Evidence

Mobile-first process view: each control point remains vertically sequenced on smaller screens for clear, readable review.
  1. 01

    Input Control

    Base Paper & PE Resin Receiving

    Materials are received against applicable procurement and production requirements before use.

    What is checked and linked

    Base Paper

    Supplier identity, grade, grammage, dimensions, appearance, and relevant incoming documentation.

    PE Resin

    Material identification, applicable grade, lot information, and supporting supplier records.

    Record Created

    Incoming material identification and source linkage

  2. 02

    Pre-Production

    Specification & Reference Alignment

    The production instruction is aligned with the customer-approved requirements before the run begins.

    Production target may include

    Application Base paper grammage PE coating weight 1S / 2S configuration Width & roll format Packing standard

    Control Point

    Approved sample and agreed specification become the operating reference

  3. 03

    Process Control

    Coating Parameter Control

    Operating conditions are monitored to keep the production run within its defined requirements.

    Key process considerations

    Material performance: coating configuration, coating weight, adhesion, and surface condition.

    Run stability: total grammage, moisture, dimensions, roll tension, and process consistency.

    Record Created

    Production parameters and in-process control records

  4. 04

    In-Line Verification

    Online Inspection & Sampling

    Inspection during production helps identify deviations before the material proceeds to final release.

    Inspection focus

    • Visual surface condition, coating appearance, edge condition, and roll formation.
    • Applicable dimensional and material checks against the active production requirement.
    • Identification of nonconforming conditions for evaluation and disposition.

    Decision Path

    Continue, adjust, segregate, or investigate as required

  5. 05

    Release Gate

    Final Product Inspection

    Finished material is evaluated before shipment release and documentation issuance.

    Final inspection is requirement-based

    Final inspection items are confirmed according to the agreed specification and contract requirements. Depending on the order, this may include applicable checks for grammage, coating weight, dimensions, moisture, appearance, roll condition, packing, and other agreed quality criteria.

    Release Evidence

    Inspection result linked to the relevant batch and shipment

  6. 06

    Identity & Documentation

    Batch Numbering & COA Issuance

    Each released batch is supported by identifiers and applicable quality documentation.

    Batch Number

    Connects production, inspection, retained sample, and shipment references.

    Certificate of Analysis

    Records applicable release information for the specified material batch.

    Customer Value

    A clear reference for receiving checks and later review

  7. 07

    Future Reference

    Retained Samples & Change Control

    Evidence is preserved and material changes are evaluated instead of being treated as invisible substitutions.

    Retained Sample

    Retained references support comparison with the approved sample, production records, and material involved in a future inquiry or claim.

    Change Control

    Relevant changes to approved material, process, or requirements are reviewed and controlled through the agreed communication process.

    Traceability Benefit

    Comparison is based on evidence, not memory

  8. 08

    Logistics Evidence

    Packing & Shipment Records

    The batch history continues through packing, loading, and shipment handover.

    Documented shipment readiness

    Released goods are packed to the agreed standard and protected against moisture and transport damage. Applicable loading, packaging, quantity, and shipment records help connect delivered rolls to their production and inspection history.

    Traceability Chain Complete

    Input → production → inspection → release → shipment

When Questions Arise

A Practical Route to Investigate Batch Concerns

If an issue is reported, the affected batch can be reviewed against its production information, COA, retained sample, packing condition, shipment records, and available customer evidence. This helps distinguish potential manufacturing, transport, storage, or processing factors.

  1. 1

    Identify the Affected Batch

    Confirm roll labels, COA details, delivery references, and issue scope.

  2. 2

    Collect Objective Evidence

    Review photos, samples, machine conditions, storage, and processing observations.

  3. 3

    Compare Linked Records

    Compare retained samples and production records with the agreed specification.

  4. 4

    Determine Corrective Action

    Agree technical correction or a commercial resolution based on verified findings.
