Test the geometry the machine actually handles.
A note on this collection
Carton compatibility depends on the delivered blank, its opening behaviour and the route the product takes into it. Design teams should describe the intended loading orientation and preserve evidence of the actual sample used at the trial. A dimension range in a machine catalogue cannot settle those questions alone.
Start with the carton compatibility checks before freezing the structural revision. Bring representative converted samples and a record of the machine configuration. Link a failed opening or closure observation to a specific sample and condition so a revised carton can be compared fairly.
