BRCGS certification: Ensuring quality and safety in flexible packaging
At Constantia Flexibles, we believe that packaging is more than just a protective layer around products. It is a critical link between manufacturers, consumers, and the environment. That’s why we are proud to uphold the highest standards of quality and safety, as exemplified by our BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance of Global Standards) certification.
What Is BRCGS?
Amongst other notable certifications such as ISO 9001, FSSC 22000 or SQF (Safe Quality Food), BRCGS stands as a globally recognized grading system that establishes benchmarks for quality, safety, and consumer protection. With a network of over 33,000 certificated suppliers spanning 130 countries, BRCGS ensures that products meet stringent criteria. Among its focal points lies the critical area of packaging materials, underscoring our dedication to excellence across the entire supply chain.
Packaging materials and BRCGS: Ensuring quality and safety
In the world of packaging, every detail matters. Whether it is the sleek design of a consumer product box or the protective layers around life-saving medications, packaging plays a crucial role. It safeguards products during transit, preserves their integrity, and communicates essential information to consumers. But how do we ensure that packaging consistently meets high standards?
This is where certifications come into play. Certifications like BRCGS set the bar. They provide a clear framework for manufacturers, guiding them in producing materials that are not only safe but also of superior quality. BRCGS stands out globally, with thousands of suppliers proudly holding this certification. It signifies more than just compliance—it signifies trust.
High scores for our plants
Most recently, Constantia Propak achieved its 9th consecutive AA+ BRC certification after unannounced audits. This accomplishment reflects the exceptional teamwork and dedication of our colleagues. But it doesn’t stop there – our other plants, including Constantia Alucap, Constantia Asas, Constantia Nusser, Constantia Afripack, and Constantia Patz, have also earned outstanding BRCGS ratings.
Setting the bar high
Together, we are raising the bar in the flexible packaging industry. We extend our congratulations to all our plants for their achievements. Each one plays a crucial role in upholding our commitment to quality and safety.
Our commitment to the BRCGS Packaging Materials Standard benefits not only our customers but also the entire industry. We are proud to be part of an ecosystem that prioritizes quality, safety, and consumer well-being.
