Request documentation pathReview compliance page

Step 1

Before requesting documents

  • Identify who needs documents: procurement, QA, retailer, importer, distributor, certifier, or internal legal reviewer.
  • List required documents by project stage: sample review, vendor approval, artwork approval, order approval, or shipment.
  • Separate public positioning from documents available after qualification.

Step 2

Core document areas

  • BRC certified production claims and certificate/scope review path.
  • FSC material options where required by the buyer or market route.
  • PFAS-free material profile support, food-contact notes, material statements, specs, and dielines.

Step 3

Claim and market review

  • Match sustainability, recycling, composting, and material claims to the selected finish and local systems.
  • Keep country-specific label compliance with the egg producer, packer, importer, retailer, or appointed regulatory adviser.
  • Do not treat supplier documentation as automatic approval for every retail or export market.
