Packaging Materials & Supplies
.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?
Packaging materials and supplies suppliers produce and distribute the raw materials used in packaging, including films, labels, adhesives, boxes, and closures. The suppliers below serve manufacturers and packers who need materials for their own packaging lines rather than machinery or design services.
What Packaging Materials & Supplies suppliers provide
Suppliers in this category produce and distribute the materials consumed on packaging lines: films, labels, adhesives, boxes, closures, cushioning materials, and other packaging supplies. Their core competence lies in supplying consistent-quality materials at the volumes and specifications a packing operation requires, often with regional distribution and short lead times. Many suppliers also offer material selection support for barrier, printability, or recyclability requirements. This is a materials supply competence, distinct from suppliers who manufacture packaging machinery or provide packaging design services. In the pre-selection phase, compare which material types, industries, and delivery capabilities each supplier specialises in rather than individual product catalogues.
Relevant standards
Materials used in food packaging are typically produced under FSSC 22000 or ISO 22000 food safety management systems, and materials for sterile medical device packaging are built to ISO 11607. General packaging material design falls under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC). Supplier quality management is typically certified to ISO 9001.
Frequently asked questions
Do packaging material suppliers also offer design services?
Some do, but this is primarily a materials supply category. For structural or material design work, see the Packaging Design & Construction sub-category.
