TAKING RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY


The analysis, if an overall packaging is suitable for the designated filling good, rests upon the responsibility of those who bring this packaging into circulation. This includes the appropriate choice of raw materials as these products must correspond to established specifications and applicable law.

FoodSafe printers fulfil their customer’s strict requirements. They focus on the highest security level with regard to varnishing (legal focus: EU, Switzerland).
