IFS PACsecure
A global certification ensuring packaging materials are safe, compliant, and free from contamination risks for industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
IFS PACsecure is a globally recognized certification standard for packaging materials, designed to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of packaging used in industries where product integrity is critical. Developed by International Featured Standards (IFS), it focuses on minimizing risks in packaging production for sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and consumer goods.
Why Choose FSC-Certified Packaging?
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a globally recognized organization that sets the standard for responsible forest management. FSC®-certified products guarantee that wood and paper materials are sourced sustainably, protecting forests, wildlife, and communities.
By choosing FSC®-certified packaging, brands demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility while meeting consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions.
