The first packaging standard to be recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), BRCGS Packaging Materials is now in its 7th issue and has become the global industry benchmark for packaging excellence.
What is BRCGS Packaging Materials?
BRCGS Packaging Materials sets out the requirements for the manufacture of packaging and packaging materials used in food packaging, filling operations and for cosmetics, toiletries and other consumer products and materials.
