If printed foils are received as rolls, these are to be sampled and each roll MUST be labelled with Sydco ID label and four ID labels are applied to each side of the pallet at the lowest point. This is to ensuring that the right label goes with the right roll.

For 10 rolls or less, sample all 10 rolls of printed Aluminium foil.

For 11 or more rolls sample n + 1 rolls.

Samples should be approx. 1.5m in length (not from the outside of roll) and, in the case of a repeatable pattern, should contain at least 15 full patterns.

If foils are received as rolls, the outside box needs to be numbered (from 1 to however many samples taken).  Write the number clearly on the box using a Black marker.  Cut the box open at the top, remove the foil (with the plastic covering) from the box.

Un-wrap the plastic film from the foil and place the foil on the sampling table.  Discard approximately 2 metres of foil from the start of the roll.

Cut the sample from the roll using a safety knife or scissors.

Using a Black marker, write the corresponding number from the box on to the sample (in a top corner).

One Sydco label must be placed on each box, and one on the samples.

Deliver the samples to the lab.
