French term

hors ligne

French to English Other Accounting Auditing
Poudres:
Le poids est contrôlé en continu avec éjection automatique des paquets hors limites. Par ailleurs un contrôle de poids hors ligne est effectué sur 8 UVC toutes les heures.
I think this might mean "off the production line", i.e they remove the products from the production line to test them in the lab, but I'm not 100% sure.

off line

I think you would be safe using simply "off line" . I agree with your theory that this refers to packages checked off the production line. Good luck.
