BRC Packaging Materials Certified
Packaging is a fundamental part of any brand. It defines product integrity, security and drives innovation. Consumers are attracted to strong and recognisable products that need to be consistent in size, colour and shape. Packaging is therefore an integral part of the manufacturing process.
The BRCGS Global Standard Packaging Materials helps a site or operation to demonstrate they are providing products that are quality assured, legally compliant, and authentic.
The first packaging standard to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), BRCGS Packaging Materials is now in its 7th issue and has become the global industry benchmark for packaging excellence. It is not only used by food packaging producers but also by producers of packaging for all applications, across the supply chain.
The standard is applicable to operations that:
Produce packaging materials for conversion or printing
Supply packaging materials from stock where additional product processing or repacking occurs
Manufacture and supply of other unconverted or semi-converted and used or incorporated
