Measure the sandwich as it will be packed
Record the length, width and height of the finished sandwich, including fillings that change its shape. Say whether it is triangular, rectangular or another style, and whether it comes wrapped or on a board. Include the number of sandwiches and any side item or sauce cup in the same pack.
Choose a pack style for display or takeaway
Describe expected contact with moisture, sauce or oil and whether the sandwich touches the carton or a liner. The use conditions should be shared when reviewing the proposed material and closure.
