From material choice
to the finished bottle.

Check bottle-label material, print, finish and adhesive together, then record legibility, surface damage and adhesion under the intended water contact.

Record the closed cover, the first opening, each opened panel, and the reclose on the container before treating a flat artwork file as the reading order.

Pair the bottle, film and artwork revisions, then follow key artwork and the seam from flat proof to unshrunk sleeve and shrunk bottle in one record.

Distinguish bottle-label symptoms and timing, preserve sample identities, and plan one controlled comparison before choosing a cause or adjustment.

Compare clear and white labels on the same bottle and fill, with transparent areas, white ink and viewing conditions recorded beside the artwork.
