How to brief a machinery project

Start with the work you need to produce

Document substrate types, web widths, colour count, repeat lengths and typical order sizes. A useful machine brief describes the real production mix, not only a maximum speed.

Look at the complete production cycle

Changeovers, drying, cleaning, waste and operator workflow affect output. Ask how a proposed configuration performs across your jobs and existing processes.

Prepare for a technical discussion

Share current equipment, target capacity, project stage and timing. FlexiPrime can coordinate the next conversation with the relevant manufacturer.
