Overview

What it is.

We hold every major certification relevant to the B2B packaging market — sustainability, quality management, environmental management, color management, food safety, and ethical trade. Every order can ship with the corresponding certificate, audit report, and compliance documentation.\n\nFor brands selling to retail, ecommerce, or regulated markets, this is not optional. For brands with sustainability claims, this is the third-party verification that makes the claims defensible. We treat both as table stakes.

FSC® A000511 — Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody

FSC Chain of Custody certification tracks the path of FSC-certified material from the forest to the finished product. Our certificate number is A000511. We can supply FSC-certified paper on request for any order, with full chain-of-custody documentation.

For brands making sustainability claims about their packaging, FSC certification is the most widely recognized and most defensible third-party verification available. It is the certification that retail buyers, regulatory bodies, and consumers all recognize.

ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management

ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. Our certification covers the design, production, and delivery of custom paper packaging. We are audited annually by a third-party certification body, with the audit reports available on request.

For brands with strict quality requirements — spirits, beauty, pharma, premium food and beverage — ISO 9001 is the standard that makes the quality system auditable. It is the difference between a factory that says it has quality control and a factory that can prove it.

ISO 14001 — Environmental Management

ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. Our certification covers material sourcing, production waste, water use, and energy use. We are audited annually, with the audit reports available on request.

For brands with science-based emissions targets, ESG reporting, or regulatory environmental requirements, ISO 14001 documentation is the foundation of any defensible claim about the environmental performance of the packaging supply chain.

G7 Master — Color Printing Consistency

G7 is the Idealliance standard for grayscale and color printing consistency. G7 Master qualification means our presses are calibrated to G7 grayscale definition, and our color management process meets the G7 specification.

For brands with multiple SKUs that need to match across production runs, or for brands with strict color requirements (PMS matches, brand-color matches), G7 Master is the assurance that the color you approved on the proof is the color you will receive in production.

FDA Compliant — Food-Contact Safe Inks and Materials

Our inks and materials meet FDA 21 CFR requirements for food-contact applications. We can supply FDA-compliant material certificates with any order intended for direct food contact — chocolate, tea, coffee, supplements, confectionery.

For food and beverage brands, this is the regulatory baseline. We can also supply EU food-contact compliance (EU 1935/2004) and California Prop 65 documentation on request.

SEDEX SMETA — Ethical Trade Audit

SEDEX SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is the most widely used ethical trade audit format in the world. Our most recent SMETA audit covered labor standards, health and safety, environment, and business ethics.

For brands with supplier code-of-conduct requirements, or for brands selling to retailers that require SMETA audit reports, our documentation is available on request through the SEDEX platform.
