BRC is now called BRCGS – Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards. We are in the process of updating our website content to reflect this recent change in branding.
The BRC Packaging Certification has been designed by the BRC and the Institute of packaging to provide a technical standard for manufacturers producing packaging materials for all types of products, on any level.
The standard looks to implement effective systems and procedures to ensure the quality of packaging for food and non-food use. Since its launch in 2001, the standard has gained the approval by many major retailers and packaging businesses across the world.
What are the benefits of BRC Packaging Certification?
The presence of a BRC Packaging certification demonstrates to potential and current customers that your business operates to a globally recognised standard of quality for packaging. This certification provides customers with confidence in the safety of your operation and can prove compliance with supplier approval processes.
The BRC Packaging Standard is the first packaging standard to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative benchmarking committee. As a result, over 3,500 suppliers in over 80 countries have chosen to be certificated to this scheme.
For packaging businesses looking to grow their business and attract new clients, a BRC certification can open up conversations with potential clients looking for suppliers that meet the requirements of their supplier approval process.
Would the BRC Packaging certification be suitable for my business?
The packaging standard is suitable for any manufacturers of packaging or packaging materials, such as:
• Producers who manufacture raw materials for use in packaging
• Production of packaging materials for conversion of printing
• Supplying materials from stock where additional processing or repacking occurs
• Packaging manufacturers who also manufacture consumer disposable goods such as paper plates
Gain a competitive edge over other businesses within the industry.
Comply with Supplier Approval Processes with a third party safety standard.
