Netpak Receives Walgreens Certified Print Packaging Supplier Status
Netpak is proud to be among the first Canadian printing and packaging manufacturers to earn full certification as a Walgreens Certified Print Packaging Supplier. The Graphic Measures International Full Certification supports consistent printed packaging quality and helps safeguard brand integrity.
Originally posted March 22, 2015. Since this announcement, Netpak’s certification program has continued to advance, including BRCGS AA+ Certification, ISO 9001, FSC, PEFC, SFI and GMI-related print quality controls.
GMI certification validates print process controls that help protect colour consistency and packaging quality.
A print quality designation for brand-owner packaging requirements
GMI monitors and validates suppliers’ required process controls and ability to deliver consistent results for brand-owner vendors. For Walgreens private label packaging, this certification supports reliable printed packaging execution.
Walgreens supplier certification confirms print control for branded packaging
Netpak completed a program administered by Graphic Measures International, an organization that monitors and validates suppliers’ required process controls and ability to deliver consistent results for brand-owner vendors.
The process involved on-site evaluations by a GMI auditor across Netpak’s entire lithographic printing operation. The audit assessed four key areas of manufacturing: prepress, plate making, printing press and post-press operations.
This recognition confirms Netpak’s ability to support Walgreens private label suppliers with printed packaging for Walgreens branded products that require certified retail packaging production.
Artwork and file preparation
Prepress controls help ensure that approved artwork, colour targets and production files are ready for print.
Consistent print transfer
Plate making influences how accurately approved artwork and colour expectations transfer to press.
Lithographic printing control
Printing press performance affects colour stability, repeatability, registration and overall packaging consistency.
Finished packaging quality
Post-press controls help ensure that printed packaging remains aligned with final brand and retail expectations.
