Continual Quality Management
Every customer order must pass a multi-level inspection at the start-up of each process to ensure the finished product meets the customer specifications. The process includes initial inspection by the machine/process operator followed by final inspection and approval by the Quality Department representative prior to commencing the production run.
Throughout the production run operating crews continually monitor product quality to ensure compliance with the customers’ specifications while Quality department representatives make roaming visits to ensure quality compliance throughout the production process.
Certifications
Packrite maintains numerous quality related certifications including FSC, SCI and ISO 9001:2015 certification.
