FAQ
- What should you verify for food-contact packaging?Confirm material specifications, supplier declarations, migration or suitability evidence, complaint records and customer approvals. Canadian food sellers remain responsible for packaging safety, so verify that the company can support customers' regulatory and audit requirements.
- How should you assess producer-responsibility obligations?Map packaging sold into each province against extended producer responsibility rules, registrations, reports and fees. Reconcile reported weights to sales data and identify contracts that pass environmental charges to customers or leave them with the company.
- Which environmental approvals may affect the facility?Review permits or approvals for air emissions, printing, solvents, wastewater and waste handling, plus municipal sewer limits. Compare authorized equipment and production levels with actual operations, complaints, inspections and planned expansion.
- How should you inspect packaging machinery?Assess presses, cutters, laminators, moulders, conveyors and inspection systems for capacity, changeover time, maintenance, safety guarding and obsolescence. Verify ownership, liens, software support, spare parts and capital needed to meet contracted specifications.
- What should you review in customer specifications?Confirm approved drawings, materials, tolerances, artwork, colour standards, testing and change-control procedures for major accounts. Examine rejected batches, credits and recalls to see whether margins reflect rework and quality-related customer deductions.
- How should you value materials and customer concentration?Count paperboard, resin, film, ink and finished goods by age, specification and customer commitment. Recalculate margins under current input prices and discount custom inventory that cannot be redirected if a concentrated account leaves.
