Packaging Materials Global Standard

The BRCGS Packaging Materials Global Standard is a renowned certification that enables sites or operations to demonstrate their commitment to providing quality-assured, legally compliant, and authentic packaging products. As the first standard recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it has become the global industry benchmark for packaging materials. Now in its 6th edition, the BRCGS Packaging Materials standard is widely adopted by not only food packaging producers but also packaging producers across various applications throughout the supply chain. The standard is applicable to operations involved in producing packaging materials for conversion or printing, supplying packaging materials from stock with additional processing or repacking, and manufacturing and supplying unconverted or semi-converted packaging materials. Numerous sites and operations worldwide have already benefited from achieving BRCGS Packaging Materials certification, with over 6,000 certified sites in more than 50 countries. The increasing adoption of the standard, growing at a rate of 10% year-on-year, reflects its effectiveness in ensuring product safety, quality, and operational excellence while fulfilling legal obligations and protecting consumers. Independent research conducted by the University of Birkbeck has shown that organizations operating in accordance with BRCGS standards experience improvements in food safety, operational efficiency, commercial growth, profitability, and innovation. Moreover, the BRCGS Packaging Materials standard assists packaging companies in adapting to evolving market forces. Through continuous revisions, the standard supports the industry in embracing sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions, addressing changing technology needs, such as the shift from offline to e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, and effectively managing allergen control. By obtaining BRCGS Packaging Materials certification, companies can enhance their reputation, demonstrate compliance with industry best practices, and gain a competitive edge in the dynamic and demanding packaging market.
