Can a sticker be a controlled document?

I'm amazed we are still growling over this bone after a year.
I still "stick" [pun intended] with my answer in post #14.
You may "control" the shape and color of this sticker in the same way you control the shape and wording of a blank inspection record form.

The essence of "Control" is gone the second this sticker is stuck on the box. I know of companies which "control" the brand, width, color, and company name printing with logo of tape used to seal the box, but that doesn't make the tape a controlled document, just another advertising gimmick, perhaps with an added touch of security against unauthorized opening and resealing (not usually a real danger in business to business transactions.)

Apparently the horse is not dead yet. Maybe we could put a controlled sticker on it that indicates it is dead. :bonk:

Defining terms

When I am talking about control on this sticker I am talking about controling distribution and application. If this is not done then the sticker really has no point does it? I mean if anyone can put it on anything then it may as well be a smiley face stamp and all the employees should get one.

I guess this is the closest to it:horse: but it is obviously very much alive or perhaps it is in the throes of death.

Now you are talking about adherence to a work instruction. Putting the sticker on does not make it a controlled document any more than the work instruction telling how to seal a carton with printed tape makes the tape a controlled document. (darn! I tried to put the "paint me a picture" smiley here and I got some bollixed thing instead.)

You might just as well say the entire carton to which the sticker is affixed becomes a controlled document.:truce:
