Food & Beverage
Food packaging, checked against the Food Standards Code.
Allergen statements, nutrition panels and country of origin labels change with every recipe tweak. Otopack can be set up to check each proof for them before the brand signs off.
Checked on every proof
What a food proof is checked for.
A typical setup. The checks are shaped to the brands you serve, and a named person still signs off.
- FSANZ
Allergens in bold and summarised
Plain English allergen labelling: allergens in bold in the ingredient list and a separate summary statement.
- NIP
Nutrition information panel
Panel present and in the standard format, unless the pack is small enough to be exempt.
- ACCC
Country of origin label
Country of origin mark and statement present where the food labelling information standard requires them.
- ARL
Australasian Recycling Label
Recycling label artwork matched to the components recorded for each pack.
Before and after
The same recipe change, run two ways.
With email and PDFs
- A recipe change updates the ingredient list on one pack size but not the others.
- Allergens are checked by eye, late, by whoever has time.
- The nutrition panel is copied from an old file with last year’s values.
- The recycling label is reused from a pack with different components.
With Otopack
- Every pack size of the product is listed against the change, so none is missed.
- Each proof is checked for bold allergens and the summary statement before the brand sees it.
- The panel on the proof is compared with the spec sheet the brand supplied.
- The ARL on the proof is matched to the components recorded for that SKU.

Questions
What packaging teams ask us.
Does Otopack decide whether a label is compliant?
No. It checks the proof for the details you set up and flags anything missing. The brand and your QA team still sign off.
Can it handle many pack sizes of one product?
Yes. SKUs of the same product are linked, so a change to one shows up against the others.
Does it work the same way for every business?
No. We set it up around your process, your systems and your approval rules. What you see here is a typical setup.
