For a folding carton, where do you record the barcode check on the assembled pack?
I'd keep the print-quality result with the approved artwork revision, then check a folded and glued sample for anything that covers the symbol or bends it around an edge. Include the clear space around the barcode in that inspection.
GS1's placement guidance specifically warns about folds, seams and overlaps. A useful approval record would show the intended panel and orientation as well as the print-quality result.
Does finishing sign this off separately in your workflow, or is it part of the same approval?
