Specifications and label quality for a diversified product brewery

Specifications and label quality are topics not readily familiar to everybody because many operations have used individual decorations for years, along the lines "Never change a running system". When changes are required, they rely on the skill of printers and hope that the change-over will not lead to major problems.

There are several reasons for assuming that the label scene is changing. On the one hand, the Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale for labels were passed last year. This remedied a somewhat unsatisfactory situation where each and every filling operation drew up quality specifications for printers which were satisfactory to a greater or lesser extent. Filling operations can now operate within a framework where they can work with something tangible, i.e. with figures.
