Sandland Packaging has significantly broadened its custom packaging manufacturing capabilities by earning the AA Grade for the BRCGS Global Standard for Packaging Materials Issue 7, a renowned benchmark in food safety and quality management. This new certification enables Sandland Packaging to produce tailored packaging solutions specifically for the food and beverage sector.
According to Martin Hickman, Managing Director, “The BRCGS Food Packaging Certification reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team. Meeting these rigorous standards and extending our offering into food safe packaging was an obvious move and means we can now provide even more high-quality bespoke packaging to a wider range of valued customers.”
Obtaining BRCGS certification involves an extensive auditing procedure that assesses manufacturing methodologies, quality management frameworks, hazard identification and control measures, traceability, and overall operational effectiveness. This achievement underscores Sandland Packaging’s commitment to adhering to the highest benchmarks in product safety, quality assurance, and compliance with food and drink regulations.
The certification enhances Sandland Packaging’s capacity to serve clients in industries with stringent hygiene and safety requirements, particularly those involved in secondary food packaging. It also emphasizes the company’s dedication to continuous enhancement, operational clarity, and a focus on customer satisfaction.
To prepare for certification, Sandland Packaging made substantial investments in advanced quality management systems, employee training, process optimization, and facility upgrades, ensuring full adherence to BRCGS standards. These improvements will not only maintain consistent product quality but also increase efficiency and mitigate risks throughout all manufacturing processes.
