We are delighted to announce that Xpress Labels has achieved AA+ grade rating in our first unannounced audit which took place in late August. Confirming our consistent and continuing commitment to Packaging Safety, Quality and Integrity within our business operations.

These BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) Packaging Audits are undertaken by independent auditing bodies certificated by the BRCGS to verify that our controls, systems and commitment is being achieved throughout the year. ‘Unannounced audits’ mean that an auditor can turn up at our site at any time on any day for an audit lasting at least one and a half days.

This standard is the first certification to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), BRCGS Packaging Materials is now in its 6th edition and has become the global industry benchmark. It is not only used by food packaging producers but also by producers of packaging for all applications, across the supply chain.

Commenting on the result, David Ross, Managing Director, said: “We choose this unannounced option to show that we operate to the highest standards every day of the year and not just on one prearranged date. This AA+ grade is a great achievement and recognises the contribution and dedication of all of our staff. The whole team at Xpress has contributed to this fantastic result”.
