Length: selected sample measure length with a measuring scale, one by one taking reading and noting it down.
Width: The selected sample measures width with a measuring scale, one by one taking reading and noting it down.
4. Grammage test of leaflet
A selected 5 sample of leaflets or insert. if the sample is folded sample is unfolded then cut the sample 10 x 10 cm or 5 x 5 cm if applicable with the help of a GSM Plate. Take weight one by one reading notes down it.
Grammage = weight in grams x 100 or 400 (if the sample cut 10 x 10 cm or 5 x 5 cm)
5. Appearance:
The selected samples have no defects in crashing cutting, printing, or other appearances.
6. Pharma code:
this test is performed with the pharma code table, considering the thick and thick line of his position given number.
Position of Bar | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Thin Bar value | 32768 | 16384 | 8192 | 4096 | 2048 | 1024 | 512 | 256 | 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
Thick Bar value | 65536 | 32768 | 16384 | 8192 | 4096 | 2048 | 1024 | 512 | 256 | 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 |
For example we take a sample of a leaflet calculate the pharma code,
= Thin+thin+thick+thin+thin+thick+thin+thin+thin+thick+thin+thick+thick+thick
1+2+8+8+16+64+64+128+256+1024+1024+4096+8192+16384=31267
