Quality assurance

From the plant floor to the laboratory, quality is the product.

PKG is committed to quality with a testing lab that produces advanced testing data and supports consistent, dependable film for sensitive food, industrial and specialty packaging applications.

Testing discipline

Engineered film should prove itself before your line depends on it.

PKG tests every piece of film it produces to ensure maximum quality and consistency. That commitment is especially important for edible food items, high-barrier structures, converter films and packaging programs where failure is expensive.
