Accreditations

Independently audited, and happy to prove it

We're a family run, independently owned packaging supplier, and we hold the same accreditations as the national players. Certificates and supporting literature are available on request, normally within one working day.

Certified where it counts

Accreditation is not a badge on a website for us, it is an annual audit, a set of records and a way of working. It means your buyers, your auditors and your customers can trust the packaging that arrives on your pallet, and that the paperwork behind it stands up to scrutiny.

In July 2026 we took the unannounced route for our BRCGS Storage & Distribution audit and achieved AA+, the highest grade available. Read what the audit involved.

The result was reported in the trade press by ThePackagingPortal.com.

  • BRCGS Storage and Distribution certificated
  • FSC® C214479, ask for our FSC-certified materials
  • Verified Carbon Standard, a Verra standard

What each one covers

Our accreditations in plain English

BRCGS Storage and Distribution certificated, grade AA+

An independently audited global standard for the safe storage and distribution of packaging and consumer goods. We hold the highest grade, AA+, awarded at our unannounced audit on 28 and 29 July 2026.

  • Grade AA+, the highest available, achieved at an unannounced audit
  • Third-party audit of our site, processes and record keeping
  • Full traceability on stored and dispatched stock
  • Documented hygiene, pest control and product-protection controls
  • Trained staff, with corrective actions logged and closed out

Why it matters
If you supply food, drink, pharmaceutical or personal-care markets, your own auditors will ask where your packaging is stored. Certification to the BRCGS Storage and Distribution standard at grade AA+ answers that question with evidence rather than assurances.

FSC® certified (licence code C214479)

Forest Stewardship Council® chain-of-custody certification, so the board we supply can be traced to responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources.

  • FSC certified board available across our corrugated range
  • Chain of custody maintained from mill through to your delivery
  • FSC claims and licence code shown correctly on paperwork
  • Guidance on using the FSC mark on your own packaging artwork

Why it matters
Retailers and tender processes increasingly require an FSC claim on packaging. We can supply certified board and the documentation to back the claim up.

Verified Carbon Standard (Verra)

We offset emissions through projects certified to the Verified Carbon Standard, the world's most widely used voluntary carbon programme.

  • Emissions offset via VCS-registered, independently validated projects
  • Verra-registered credits, publicly listed and serialised
  • Supports our wider reduce-reuse-recycle approach to packaging
  • Backs up your own scope 3 and ESG reporting

Why it matters
Sustainability questionnaires are now a standard part of procurement. Our offsetting, alongside recyclable and recycled-content materials, gives you something concrete to report.
