GuideFSC® Certification: What Brands Need to Know

FSC® certification verifies responsible forest management — but brands must trace fibre through production.

What FSC® actually certifies

Chain-of-custody tracks material from certified forests through mills to your finished box.

Documentation to keep on file

Mill certificates, purchase orders noting FSC® grade, and batch records for each production run.

On-pack labeling rules

Logo placement and claim text must match FSC® guidelines — we review artwork during prepress.

Reminder

FSC® logo use requires license approval — we provide documentation with certified orders.
