A documentation checklist for packaging procurement

Specification, test report, declarations, SDS and certificates: what to ask for, and when.

notes from our own lines

Procurement teams are asked for evidence by their own quality and compliance colleagues. Request the right documents early and onboarding goes faster.

Specification sheet

The agreed dimensions, grades, tolerances and packing. It becomes the basis for inspection.

Test report

Results for a sample or production lot against the agreed parameters.

Declarations

Food-contact and material declarations, where the product and market need them.

Safety Data Sheet

For adhesives, inks and cleaning products.

Certificates

Check the holder, the facility, the scope and the expiry date. A certificate for a different product or site does not cover yours.
