Specify Your Packaging Requirements in Your RFQ
Buyers can specify their required standards, such as ISO 22000, BRCGS, and FDA compliance for food safety and material integrity. Key considerations for your RFQ include:
Compliance with FDA, EU 10/2011 food contact regulations, and BRCGS packaging safety standards.
Supplier capabilities for 10-color rotogravure and high-definition flexographic printing with custom matte, gloss, or tactile finishes.
Requests for comprehensive lab test reports covering oxygen transmission rate (OTR), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and seal strength.
If your flexible packaging also needs separate labels, sleeves or other printed items, you can prepare a dedicated request under Printing Services & Labels.
