Packaging reference illustrating How to brief a device insert

Describe the main item, accessories, instructions and any protective pieces. Mark optional configurations so a single sample is not assumed to fit every kit. If a part is optional, identify which kit configuration includes it so the insert brief does not silently assume one universal pack-out.

Show lid direction, what appears first and how the customer lifts each part. Specify if an insert should stay in the tube or come out.

Ask for a sample of the proposed insert and test it with the actual packed set. No performance claim follows from a photograph alone.
