FSC Paper Packaging: A Procurement and Label Checklist

Company certification and an FSC-labelled finished order are different checks. Confirm both the material specification and the permitted claim for your purchase.

Start with Chain of Custody scope

Hangzhou Ever Yuanda Packing Co., Ltd. holds FSC Chain of Custody certification. The certificate is available on request. Ask for current documentation and verify the holder, validity and applicable scope before relying on it for procurement approval.

Confirm the material and the order claim

Only orders using FSC-certified paper and labelled in accordance with applicable FSC requirements may carry the FSC label. Do not assume that every material option or every finished product on a certified supplier website carries that label.

State the desired on-pack claim in the enquiry, and confirm the specification and label permissions before approving artwork. Avoid adding a logo yourself from an online image.

Assess environmental requirements separately

Paper colour does not establish recycled content or certification. Ask for the intended fibre composition, coating, lamination and any insert materials. Recyclability depends on the complete construction and local collection facilities; an FSC claim is not a universal guarantee of recyclability or biodegradability.

Keep an approval trail

Retain the approved material specification, certificate documentation, artwork, sample approval and order documents together. If the specification changes after sampling, reconfirm the claim and label before production. Ask about any destination-specific documentation separately.

Buyer questions

Does company FSC certification cover every box automatically?

No. YEAR DAY holds FSC Chain of Custody certification, but only orders using FSC-certified paper and labelled in accordance with applicable FSC requirements may carry the FSC label. The certificate is available on request.

Is brown kraft paper automatically FSC-certified?

No. Colour and appearance do not establish certification. Confirm the paper specification, applicable claim and documentation for the particular order.
