Workflow
Process
The selected route is recorded against the approved product construction.
Sheet reviewConfirm material, gauge, colour and compatibility with the construction.
CuttingConvert panels, folds and openings to the approved layout.
JoiningUse the suitable joining method for the selected material and seam.
AssemblyFit closures or hardware and check the complete article.
Process detail
Material Identity
PP, PVC and other sheet materials require a process compatible with their composition and gauge. Do not assume that every plastic accepts the same welding method. The enquiry should identify grade, thickness, surface and intended seam performance. Where the grade is not yet selected, compare candidate materials with an actual joint sample before fixing the product construction.
Process detail
Usable Dimensions
Cut profiles, crease lines, pocket openings and joined edges define the usable article. A flat blank includes material consumed by seams and folds. Draw both the outside envelope and the internal document space, including corner radii and closure holes. For translucent pockets, place seams outside the required viewing area and inspect clarity after joining rather than only on an unprocessed sheet.
Process detail
Joints and Hardware
Inspect seam continuity, folds, cut-edge condition and attachment holes. Load the intended documents, operate closures and examine areas around rivets or eyelets. Joint acceptance should refer to the agreed product and method; a broad claim such as strong seams is not measurable. Keep joined samples from the approved construction where later production needs a physical comparison.
Process detail
Process Evidence
A manufacturing review should follow cutting, creasing, joining and hardware fitting for the actual material. Ask which joining method is proposed and which steps are performed at the site. Confirm how material substitutions are controlled and whether a change of grade requires new joining approval. Recycled-content requirements need their own supply evidence and should not be inferred from the conversion process.
Specification
Project Inputs
Sheet specification, cutting layout, pocket dimensions, seams and any hardware.
Send a drawing or reference sample alongside quantity and delivery requirements. Material compatibility, applicable finishes and any subcontracted operations are confirmed during quotation.
Inspection
Process Checks
Cut-edge condition, fold registration, seam integrity and functional fit.
Agree the reference sample and relevant acceptance points before the production run. The finished article is also checked for fit and function after downstream assembly.
