At SystemPAK, quality and safety aren’t just boxes to tick — they’re the foundation of everything we do. We understand that when you choose packaging, especially for food, pharmaceuticals, or other sensitive goods, you need to be absolutely sure it meets the highest standards. That’s why every product we offer is BRC and BRCGS certified. It’s our way of giving you confidence and peace of mind every step of the way.
What Are BRC and BRCGS Certifications?
If you’re not already familiar, here’s a quick breakdown:
- BRC stands for British Retail Consortium. It originally focused on food safety standards but has grown into a global benchmark covering a wide range of industries — including packaging.
- BRCGS stands for British Retail Consortium Global Standards, which is the current, updated set of standards that cover everything from packaging materials to consumer products and more.
These certifications are designed to make sure products are safe, high-quality, and consistent. To achieve BRC and BRCGS certification, companies must meet strict criteria around hygiene, quality control, supplier management, and traceability. These standards are regularly audited by independent bodies, so certification isn’t just a one-off — it’s a continuous commitment.
Why Does SystemPAK Use BRC and BRCGS Certification?
For us, choosing BRC and BRCGS certification for every product isn’t about ticking a box — it’s about setting the bar high and keeping it there. Here’s why it matters so much:
1. Proven Quality Across the Board
BRC and BRCGS standards require thorough checks throughout the entire production process — from raw materials right through to finished packaging. This means you can be confident that every roll of film, every lid, or tray from SystemPAK meets exacting quality requirements. There’s no guesswork, no compromises.
2. Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Whether you’re packaging food, medical supplies, or other sensitive items, safety is critical. The hygiene and safety rules within these standards ensure that our products won’t contaminate or compromise whatever you’re packing. This is especially important in regulated industries, where failing safety requirements can lead to costly recalls or damage to your reputation.
3. Globally Recognised Standards
SystemPAK serves customers across the UK and internationally. Having BRC and BRCGS certification means our products meet globally accepted standards. That makes it easier for you to export your products and meet the expectations of retailers and regulators worldwide.
4. Continuous Improvement Culture
The audits and checks aren’t just about maintaining certification — they’re a catalyst for continuous improvement. We use the feedback from audits to improve our processes and materials constantly. This approach keeps us at the forefront of innovation and quality in packaging.
What BRC/BRCGS Certification Means for Your Business
When you choose SystemPAK, you’re not just buying packaging — you’re investing in reliability and trust. Here’s what our certification means for you:
- Reduced Risk: Using BRC/BRCGS-certified packaging lowers the risk of non-compliance with industry regulations. This protects your business from fines, recalls, or delays.
- Audit Friendly: If your business undergoes regulatory or customer audits, having certified packaging helps streamline the process. You can show clear evidence that your packaging supplier meets the highest safety and quality standards.
- Improved Brand Reputation: Consumers and partners increasingly demand transparency and quality. Using certified packaging shows your commitment to these values, strengthening your brand image.
- Supply Chain Confidence: From raw materials to delivery, traceability is a key requirement of BRC and BRCGS. This means your packaging has been tracked and verified throughout the supply chain, giving you extra assurance.
