individual specifications for different types of cartons.

Non virgin kraft paper may be made from 100% waste paper or a mixture of waste paper and
agricultural waste or any other material that will ensure compliance with the requirements as
per IS 1397:1990.

The direction of CORRUGATION (ARK) must be vertical i.e., flutes are vertical to give
maximum stacking strength.

Height of flute should be of minimum 2.5mm (exclusive of liners).

Cartons and separators must be with clear cut edges and be free from die – cut waste.

Receiving conditions

Approval

Any Carton manufacturer who is able to meet our receiving conditions and has proved by
samples that the production apparatus is capable of producing the quality desired both
with regard to colours, technical quality and suitability for the operations may be
nominated as an approved supplier. Initially a trial lot will be tested for a shopfloor
performance before approval. No change of materials, etc. is allowed without the written
acceptance of UB group, Breweries Division. The approval may be withdrawn if the
deliveries are not up to the desired quality standard.

General requirements

Total shortage, calculated on the basis of several units from the same lot, must not in all
total to more than 1% as a maximum to the total quantity in numbers agreed upon. If the
shortage is ascertained to be more than 1%, a credit note or a subsequent delivery in
accordance with shortage ascertained is demanded for the whole lot from the supplier.

The cartons must be marked with the name or logo of the manufacturer.

Quality requirements

The cartons supplied should meet the quality requirements as per the specifications PM d
1 -13 – 1 b to PM d – 13 -1 b, depending on the types of cartons. The lot will be sampled
at random as per the sampling plan stipulated and tested for compliance with respect to
the desired quality requirements as per the specifications. Any deviations observed from
the desired specifications will cause return of the lot.

out.

Board

Random sample: 10 packages

Any deviations from the desired ply will cause return of the lot.

Random sample: 3 cartons.

Any deviations observed from the desired standard are conveyed to the supplier for
improvements in the next lot. If subsequent lots don’t meet the desired standard, the lot will
be returned.

Random sample: 10 crowns
With the help of a small screw driver, effort is made to remove the liner in one piece. If the
liner comes out in pieces or a lot of force is required to separate the liner, then adhesion is
considered good.

Quality of lacquer

If one or more of the crowns show 3-4 tiny spots after having been submerged in a 20%
CuSO4 solution for 1 minute, a complaint will be made. Unacceptable damage will cause
return of the lot.

Taste testing
Random sample: 5 crowns.

The sample is tested with approved crowns as reference. Any abnormality in the smell or
taste will cause rejection of the lot.

Visual defects
These defects are classified to 3 major groups as under. Please refer to the classification of
visual defects and description list.

Critical defects:
Defects which render the crowns dangerous for persons and/or may cause damage to the
machinery when used in the production. No such defects will be accepted in the random
sample-irrespective of its size.

Major defects:
Defects which affect the quality of the product and which cannot be sorted out during

Materials

The basic material used for making pressure sensitive adhesive tapes with plastic base will be
polypropylene.

General requirements

The pressure sensitive adhesive tape shall consist of a base film, coated uniformly on one side
with a suitable pressure sensitive adhesive composition, requiring no moisture, heat or other
special preparation prior to application.

The rolls shall be wound uniformly and evenly on cores so that each succeeding turn coincides
with the one below it.

Each roll of tape shall be reasonably free from overlapping, depressions, distortions or
telescoping and shall unroll without offsetting of the adhesive mass or tearing of the base. When
unrolled, the tape should not show transference of the adhesive to the backing of the underlying
turn.

Colour code if any will be specified separately. The colour shall match the specifications.

Outside printing if any will be specified separately. Printing shall be legible and shall not transfer
to the adhesive side of the adjacent turn.

All tapes shall be normally wound on the cores of the internal diameters specified and shall have
sufficient rigidity to prevent the distortion of the roll under normal conditions of transportation
and use.

The splices in the tape shall be so made so as not to separate when unwound from the roll.
