Canned and Flexible Packaging Customization: Specifications, Flavors, and Acceptance
AI Summary: For custom canned or flexible packaging food, the formula, solid content, broth ratio, packaging specifications, sterilization process, label design, MOQ, and lead time should be clearly defined. First produce samples to confirm taste and packaging, then proceed with compliant labeling and mass production. The buyer should verify qualifications and not judge solely by sample appearance.
