Quality control

How we control quality, from your brief to your reorder

One team stays accountable for every step of your packaging. The brief, the design, the compliance checks and the inspections are ours. Manufacturing, testing, freight and storage go to partners we pick for each job and hold to the same checkpoints.

✓ Golden sample on every run
✓ Inspected before it ships
✓ Compliance pack with every order
✓ One contact, brief to reorder
Seven stages

Who does what at each stage

StageWho does itWhat we check before it moves on
1. BriefUsA signed spec sheet: product, size, board, print, quantity and the rules that apply
2. DesignUs, with partner designers where neededDieline and artwork proof signed off by you
3. ComplianceUs for the checks and documents, accredited labs for testingA compliance pack ready before production starts
4. Sample and testPartner manufacturers and labs, managed by usA golden sample approved by you and kept as the reference
5. ProductionISO-certified partner manufacturersFirst pieces and the finished run checked against the golden sample
6. DeliveryPartner forwarders and warehouses, managed by usDocuments ready before the goods reach port, delivery checked against the order
7. After deliveryUsA reorder file for each design and a yearly packaging data pack

We do not manufacture, and we do not certify packaging ourselves. Under the EU packaging regulation, the conformity documents sit with the manufacturer or importer. Our job is to check your packaging against the rules, gather those documents with the manufacturer and book an accredited lab where a test is needed.

Our partners

How a partner earns a place on your job

We pick partners case by case, for your product, your volume and where the packaging has to go. Each one has to meet the same bar.

On every order

The checks on every order

If something does not match the golden sample, it does not ship. We sort it with the manufacturer first and tell you exactly what happened.

Compliance pack

The paperwork that comes with your packaging

The EU packaging regulation has applied since 12 August 2026, and harmonised sorting labels follow from 12 August 2028 or later. Every order comes with a compliance pack your quality team can keep on file.

For the dates and what they mean for your packaging, read our guide to the EU packaging regulation.

After delivery

After delivery: reorders, stock and reporting

Clients on our annual packaging programme get all four as standard.

Common questions

Questions about quality control

Still have a question?

Do you make the packaging yourselves?

No. Your packaging is made by ISO-certified partner manufacturers we choose for your product and volume. We write the specification, approve the golden sample with you and inspect the run before it ships, so the quality checks stay with us.

Can you store our packaging and deliver it in batches?

Yes, where it suits the job. We arrange it case by case through a partner warehouse near your site or market. The stock stays yours, and we release it in the quantities and on the dates you call off.

Do you certify that our packaging meets the EU rules?

No, and nobody should promise you that on their own. Under the EU packaging regulation, the conformity documents sit with the manufacturer or importer. We check your packaging against the rules, gather the documents with the manufacturer and book an accredited lab where a test is needed.
