Our quality policy

Three core principles

Our quality management system is based on ISO 9001:2015, BRCGS Packaging Materials, ISO 22000 and ISO 27001:2022.

Customer focus

Meeting our customers’ expectations to the highest degree and ensuring lasting satisfaction is our core principle.

Continuous improvement

We continuously analyse and modernise our processes with a focus on efficiency and quality.

Food safety

We never compromise on global hygiene and safety standards in the secondary packaging we produce for food.

Quality control

Three checkpoints from receipt to shipping

Raw material inspection

All paper and ink raw materials undergo laboratory tests at incoming quality control.

In-process control

In-line spectrophotometers on every line provide real-time colour and technical control.

Final approval

Before shipping, every pallet undergoes a final inspection against customer-specific specifications.

Measurable quality

Colour management with ΔE < 2 precision using X-Rite technology; burst strength, moisture and thickness tests are standard in every production run.

  • Migration analyses
  • Odour and taint tests (Robinson)
  • Box strength: BCT, ECT, burst, Cobb and crash tests
  • Barcode verification tests
What is FSC?

Traceability from responsible forest to box

FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international certification system that verifies that the wood used as raw material for paper and board comes from responsibly managed forests and controlled sources. A Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate shows that FSC-certified material is kept separate and traced at every link of the supply chain, from forest to finished product.

Barem Ambalaj holds an FSC® Chain of Custody certificate (FSC-C141581); on request, it produces offset printed and litho-laminated boxes with FSC-certified board. You can view a copy of the certificate in the list above.

  • Certificate code: FSC-C141581 (Chain of Custody)
  • FSC-certified board on request
  • Material traceability from order to shipment
Why does BRCGS matter?

Packaging assurance for food and consumer products

BRCGS Packaging Materials is an international standard that audits product safety, hygiene, foreign-body control, traceability and legal compliance at packaging manufacturers, and it is recognised by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). Food and consumer goods brands and retailers look for this certificate when approving packaging suppliers.

Barem Ambalaj produces secondary board packaging for food and is BRCGS Packaging Materials certified. ISO 22000 food safety management is applied in production; our laboratory carries out migration analyses and odour and taint (Robinson) tests.

  • Hygiene and foreign-body control
  • Traceability from batch to shipment
  • Migration and Robinson (odour and taint) tests
