Chain of Custody

Our Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of Custody certification provides a framework for us to promote responsible forest management. We also have Chain of Custody certification from the programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™). We were the first label manufacturer in our region to achieve these certifications, and have driven the development of certified papers within our supply chain. Our certified material range includes:

• FSC certified gloss paper
• PEFC certified gloss paper
• FSC certified thermal paper

We can even help you promote your environmental credentials by printing an FSC logo on your label.
