Purchase your luxury paper bags that feature the FSC® trademark and showcase your commitment to sustainable forest management.
When you choose FSC® certified bags, you can be confident that the materials used are sourced from forests that are managed responsibly. The FSC® certification, which stands for Forest Stewardship Council, is the gold standard when it comes to ensuring sustainability in forest management.
Chain of Custody
The FSC® certification goes beyond just ensuring that the materials used in your packaging come from responsible sources. It also includes a verified chain of custody that tracks the timber from the forest all the way to the final product. This means that at every step of the supply process, the timber is carefully monitored to ensure that it meets the strict sustainability criteria set by the FSC®. By purchasing luxury paper bags with the FSC® trademark, you are supporting this rigorous tracking and monitoring system that helps protect our forests.
Packaging that bears the FSC® certification serves as evidence of your commitment to sustainability
When you receive your luxury paper bags, you will notice that the invoice and your product bears a unique logo or code that can be verified to confirm the FSC® certification. This code is an important aspect of the FSC® framework, as it allows anyone to easily check the authenticity of the certification. This transparency ensures that consumers can trust that the products they are purchasing are truly made from sustainably sourced materials.
Positive Impact
By purchasing luxury paper bags with the FSC® trademark, you are not only providing your customers with a high-quality product, but you are also making a statement about your brand’s values and dedication to the environment. So go ahead and choose FSC® certified packaging to make a positive impact on the planet, one bag at a time.
How to order packaging certified by FSC® from Luxury Paper Bags?
- Enquiry and quotation.
In the quotation stage, it is important to indicate in your request that you want to purchase a product certified by FSC® and clarify if you would prefer the FSC® label included in the print. We will verify the availability of the paper with the requested certification. The FSC® claim will be detailed in your quotation. We will certainly strive to manage any additional costs associated with FSC® while keeping lead times as short as possible.
- Artwork proof design and approval.
Once the artwork proof for your order is created, we must submit it to an FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified organization for approval.
Submitting the artwork proof to the FSC® certified organization is a meticulous process that involves a thorough assessment of the design and its compliance with the FSC® standards. The organization carefully examines the artwork to verify that all the elements, such as images, fonts, and colours, are in accordance with the FSC®requirements. They also check for any potential copyright infringements or any elements that may not align with the organization’s principles.
This approval process usually takes around 2-5 days, depending on the complexity of the artwork and the workload of the FSC® organization.
While this process may lengthen the overall lead time of your order, we believe it is well worth the wait as it ensures that every product we create upholds our values of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
- Order confirmation & Invoice
Upon receiving approval for the quotation, the FSC® claim will be distinctly noted in the written order confirmation. The invoice documentation will clearly indicate the FSC® claim associated with the delivered products.
- Production & Delivery
Throughout the production and logistics phases, the Chain of Custody must remain intact at all times. If necessary and authorised, the FSC® logo will be printed on the product as per FSC® approval. All shipping documents will explicitly include the FSC® certification claim for the goods provided.
