Brand owners and retailing giants such as Target, Walgreens Lowe’s and Best Buy use the program to ensure that their packaging printers have process controls in place for strict color fidelity and consistent print quality. The GMI full Certification guarantees that the final packaging will meet the highest standards of quality, thereby safeguarding the brand integrity. About 800 printers around the world hold the distinction, including roughly 250 in the U.S.

1. Netpak Packaging receives GMI Full Certification
Packaging printers understand certification. Many regularly
undergo audits in food and pharmaceutical safety, product
security, and other areas where their clients want documented
proof that the highest standards of performance are in place.
These printers know that earning and keeping the credentials is
a prerequisite for doing business with brand-owning producers of
consumer packaged goods.
Netpak Packaging, the leading innovator in food, pharma and
beauty packaging, is proud to be among the first Canadian
printing and packaging manufacturer to earn GMI (Graphic
Measures International) Certification following an in-depth review
of manufacturing processes and controls spanning the plant’s
entire production chain.
Brand owners and retailing giants such as Target, Walgreens Lowe’s and Best Buy use the program to ensure that
their packaging printers have process controls in place for strict color fidelity and consistent print quality. The GMI
full Certification guarantees that the final packaging will meet the highest standards of quality, thereby safeguarding
the brand integrity. About 800 printers around the world hold the distinction, including roughly 250 in the U.S.
The process to earn this achievement involved on-site evaluations by a GMI auditor of Netpak’s entire printing
operation for lithography. “During the certification process our skilled team members were able to demonstrate that
the processes we execute and tools we utilize for pre-press, platemaking, press production and post-press result in
a high-quality printed product,” said Eric Bouchard, Netpak’s Operation Manager.
By adhering to these tight guidelines, Netpak Packaging is able to ensure consistent color quality within a
production run and on re-orders of the same item. They also apply these guidelines when a customer has multiple
items in a production run and need to have consistent color from item to item.
“Receiving the GMI certification validates that Netpak’s litho/offset printing processes and capabilities provide our
customers with the color accuracy and consistency needed for printing their critical brand color. Through
transparency, accountability, performance measurement and compliance, Netpak customers are assured that
quality and food safety standards are in place,” said Islem Yezza, Director of Sales and Marketing for Netpak
Packaging.
