Quality Assurance and Quality Control for Packaging
Since 1984, Pro QC provides quality assurance and quality control services for packaging to ensure product integrity and compliance with market requirements.
Packaging is both a powerful marketing and sales tool and an object that helps protect/contain the product during transport and storage. It is therefore important that all packing corresponds exactly to the product specifications, in terms of quality, design, and performance.
We support all companies that manufacture packaging or need to verify the packaging integrity of their products. Our experience covers all types of packaging, from primary to tertiary packaging, whether paper, cartons, plastic, wood, metals, or glass.
Pro QC protects customers from supplier selection through to shipping. We support companies qualifying their packaging suppliers, monitoring production, and inspecting packaging quality at each stage of the manufacturing process. Our range of services includes packaging quality inspections, supplier management, supplier verification, manufacturing process audits, quality management system audits, and social and environmental compliance audits.
