BRCGS Packaging Materials
Global Standard for Packaging Materials, Issue 7: at our Tire (AA) and Gaziantep (AA+) plants.
Food packaging and food box manufacturing
We produce secondary board packaging for food brands: cartons that do not come into direct contact with food, protect the primary pack, run smoothly on your filling line and stand out on the shelf.

Frequently asked questions
About food packaging
No. Barem Ambalaj produces secondary board packaging for food; our boxes do not come into direct contact with food, which sits inside a primary pack such as a bag, foil or container. Our Tire and Gaziantep plants are BRCGS Packaging Materials certified; we produce under ISO 22000:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 and carry out migration and odour-taint (Robinson) tests.
A migration test is an analysis that measures whether substances in the packaging transfer into food and, if so, whether they stay below the limit values. We also apply these analyses to the secondary food packaging we produce.
The Robinson test is a sensory test that evaluates whether packaging transfers odour or taste to food. It is applied especially to packaging for sensitive products such as chocolate, confectionery and dry food.
We produce offset printed cartons, windowed boxes, display stands and shipping boxes for confectionery, chocolate, biscuits, dry food and similar products. We design the structure around the product, its shelf life and your filling line.
Yes. During analysis we define the filling line requirements and prepare the structural design and die-cut layout accordingly; we verify line compatibility with samples and proofs.
