All Stockpack packaging products.

Use the catalogue to identify candidate formats, then compare them using the same technical and evidence questions. A product photograph and nominal description are useful starting points, but they do not replace a material declaration, drawing, tolerance, compatibility check or production trial.

Information that helps Lancing quote accurately

• Product or contents, pack volume or weight, and expected annual or batch quantity.
• Required material, colour, dimensions, neck finish, closure, seal, label or film format.
• Fill temperature, product viscosity or powder behaviour, barrier and shelf-life requirements.
• Current machinery, planned output, changeover range and any known line constraints.
• Delivery pattern, storage conditions, transport route, pallet or case requirements and target date.
• Environmental claims being considered and the supplier evidence required to support them.

Record unknowns instead of filling gaps with assumptions

Many catalogue entries begin with only the details available from the source material. Treat an unknown field as a question for the supplier or trial plan. In particular, do not infer a complete layer structure from a pouch appearance, a neck finish from cap diameter, a recycled-content percentage from a resin description, or food-contact suitability from a familiar pack shape. A short, accurate specification with clearly marked unknowns is more useful than a complete-looking specification built from guesses.

Move from shortlist to approved supply

Once candidate products are identified, compare samples against the same written brief. Record the approved component code, drawing, colour and revision; the product and line conditions used in the trial; the accepted label, closure or secondary pack; and the quality checks that will be used for incoming goods. Confirm minimum order, lead time and delivery pattern only when the exact specification is agreed. If a supplier changes a material, construction or production site, decide whether the evidence and line approval need to be repeated.

For a deeper comparison, read the evidence guide and the material compatibility guide. The principal catalogue routes are bottles, pouches, caps and closures, labels and shrink film.

Questions to answer before selecting a catalogue product

The catalogue is a shortlist. Final approval depends on the exact component, evidence, mating parts and production process.
