We manufacture fit-for-purpose packaging from responsibly sourced raw materials, including renewable and recycled materials. Food contact packaging has to be optimized and meet several safety requirements. It also has a very important role to play in the life cycle of packed food. By protecting the food it contains, packaging helps to reduce food waste.

Huhtamaki manufactures all food contact packaging under safe and controlled hygienic environment. Prior to introducing raw materials in production, the suitability for food contact and intended purpose of use is evaluated. The finished articles go through rigorous quality control process and are tested in accordance with the legal requirements. Quality and hygiene management systems, such as ISO9001 and BRC, provide a solid base for securing manufacturing consistency.
