How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Label & Packaging Compliance for your business. Begin with a packaging subject, its artwork revision and the requirements your Inspector uses. Rehearse a successful inspection and a rejection that leads to independently verified corrective work.

How do we distinguish similar artwork?

Record the SKU, market and version, attach the actual file and link it to the inspection. Agree a revision naming convention during setup so the person preparing the artwork and the reviewer identify the same material.

What label checks can we record?

Record allergen, ingredients, barcode, claims and language checks against a particular artwork revision. Each check keeps its result, evidence and reviewer. Different checks on the same artwork can have different outcomes.

Does approved artwork mean the inspection is accepted?

Artwork approval and inspection acceptance are separate decisions. Quality Approver still examines the inspection requirements and their evidence before deciding disposition. Production release follows the process your business has agreed for its production system.

What happens when a required inspection check fails?

Acceptance is blocked. Quality Approver can reject the inspection, which creates a linked nonconformance and containment corrective action. The team then follows the cause and correction through effectiveness review.

Can the action owner verify their own correction?

Effectiveness review requires an independent reviewer. Corrective Action Owner submits the work, and an independent Quality Approver decides whether it was effective. A failed verification returns the action to implementation while preserving the previous review history.

How are evidence corrections handled?

Submitted label check evidence is retained. Corrections add attributed successor evidence so the reviewer can understand the earlier submission and the change. Agree when a file change requires a new artwork revision and a fresh review.

Can we follow audit findings separately?

Auditor records each finding against its audit with a requirement, severity, owner and due date. A closure date describes the finding’s completion. Review that date separately from the overall audit status when following outstanding work.

How do document acknowledgments work?

Document Controller records the person and acknowledgment date against the exact controlled document revision. An earlier acknowledgment remains associated with the earlier revision. Agree who needs to read each changed instruction before reviewing coverage.

Does this provide external certification?

The review records support internal verification and quality decisions. External certification and regulatory interpretation remain with the authorized bodies and specialists your business uses. Agree how their advice or evidence enters the review during setup.
