Vial measurement sheet: filling guide

All dimensions are millimeters. The worked rows are fictional planning examples, not supplier specifications or approved test data. Replace them before quoting.

Identify and measure the container

The packaging owner records container_id, supplier, supplier_item and nominal capacity. Assign a sample ID that appears on the physical bottle and the drawing. Record measured diameter, usable straight-wall height and a reference to the photo or measurement record. Measure the circumference at the proposed application position and enter it in measured_circumference_mm. Keep the calculated circumference as a geometric cross-check; an empty measured field is not a measured zero.

Record a proposed size

For a cylindrical gap-wrap planning calculation, circumference = diameter × pi; proposed width = circumference minus proposed gap. Proposed height = usable straight wall minus top and bottom clearances. The example uses a 2 mm gap and 2 mm at each horizontal edge, solely as inputs for demonstrating the calculation. A different shape, overlap or application requirement needs a different proposal and physical confirmation.

Separate the geometry check from approval

The application owner checks an actual-size mockup on the identified bottle, records that print scaling was checked and enters the observed fit result. A paper mockup does not qualify adhesive behavior. The printer confirms finished cut dimensions and drawing revision. The buyer's approver records the accepted evidence and approved revision; do not enter an approval name before approval occurs.

If the width or height changes, update the proposed fields and repeat the relevant fit check. If the container changes, link the replacement sample and determine which approval needs reconfirming. Where measured circumference differs materially from the cylindrical calculation, resolve shape or measurement differences before freezing the dieline. Mark missing fields as open points and identify who supplies them.
