What does the factory focus on? Copy link

How many machines are in the factory? Copy link

Offset printing, die-cutting, and a compression tester for export cartons are on the visit route. Book a date from contact.

Which certificate scans can I open? Copy link

FSC, ISO 9001, amfori BSCI, and SMETA. Ratings and numbers are on the files. If a file is expired, the page says so. They are listed on certificates.

Is every SKU FSC? Copy link

No. FSC board is used when you ask for chain of custody. Holding the certificate does not make every item FSC. Put it in the brief and open the scan on certificates.

Do I need to specify the glue? Copy link

No. Name the flute on the sample: BC for a lounge, B for a pad, E for a printed face. Notes are on materials.

Can a printed face use a denser core? Copy link

Yes. When the scratch zone is heavy, a fine print face can sit on a harder core. E flute is the usual print face. BC or B often carries the structure. Agree that pair before bulk on materials.
