FSC Certified Paper Packaging in Layton, UT

FSC Certified Paper carries the Forest Stewardship Council chain-of-custody certification -- the most widely recognized and credible international standard for responsible forest management and sustainable fiber sourcing in the paper and packaging industry. FSC certification documents that the paper fiber originates from forests managed to FSC's ecological, social, and economic standards, providing a credentialed sustainability claim that is independently verified by third-party certifiers rather than self-declared by the brand.

FSC Chain-of-Custody Certification

FSC chain-of-custody (CoC) certification tracks certified fiber from the certified forest through every stage of the supply chain -- the sawmill, the pulp mill, the paper mill, the converter, and the printer -- to the final product. Each link in the supply chain must be independently certified to FSC CoC standards for the final product to carry the FSC label. This supply chain transparency provides the independent verification that makes FSC certification credible to consumers, retailers, and sustainability auditors in a way that self-declared sustainability claims cannot.

FSC Labels and What They Mean

FSC certification is communicated through three standard labels. FSC 100% indicates that all fiber content comes from FSC-certified forests. FSC Mix indicates that the product contains a mixture of FSC-certified fiber, recycled fiber, and/or controlled wood in specified proportions. FSC Recycled indicates that all fiber content is recovered post-consumer or pre-consumer material. The appropriate label is determined by the specific fiber content mix of the certified paper being specified.
