Label Technology, a leader in converting pressure sensitive labels, flexible packaging and finished pouches, has announced that its flexible packaging production facility received Good Manufacturing Practice recognition from the American Institute of Baking (AIB). This certifies compliance with the requirements of AIB International’s Consolidated Standards for Food Contact Packaging Manufacturing Facilities.

The AIB Food Contact Packaging Recognition indicates that the facility was judged to be wholesome and safe for the manufacture of food contact packaging. It is based on meeting standards related to material handling, equipment maintenance, cleaning and sanitizing, pest management and food safety programs.

Passing the inspection audit confirms that products are manufactured in a clean environment with comprehensive good manufacturing practices.

“This is an exciting and important achievement for Label Technology,” says David Bankson, president and CEO of Label Technology.  “We have always maintained high standards for organization and cleanliness, but we have now demonstrated this by achieving an outstanding score of 940 (out of possible 1000) on AIB’s Third Party Audit. Hygiene and food safety have always been paramount at our company and it is very gratifying to provide our clients the confidence they need in our processes with this recognition. Our dedicated team of professional employees are responsible for this success and are proud of what it means for our company.”
