We’ve always been proud of our contract packing team in our Trowbridge factory and the high standards they deliver for our clients. That is why we were delighted when the operation was awarded Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approval for Storage and Distribution.
For customers looking for reliable tin packaging, this approval gives added confidence that our operational processes and controls meet exacting standards. From the moment products arrive at our factory to the point they are packed, stored and dispatched, safety, consistency and care remain a priority. That means our customers can trust that their products are in very safe hands.
HACCP looks thoroughly at all aspects of the Contract Packing Operation, from the controls and checks we perform on our supply chain, through the way we deal with goods when they’re delivered, how we store them, how we control their use while in our premises, how we deal with spills, waste and rejects and how we despatch the finished tins or gift boxes. It even deals with the cleaning products we use and the personal hygiene standards of our team!
For our clients, that level of scrutiny is important. It supports the quality and reliability behind every project, whether we are handling finished custom tins, gift packaging or food related tin packaging that needs careful storage and distribution.
The HACCP was conceived in the 1960s by NASA as they looked for companies to manufacture packaging for space flight food. The world famous Pillsbury Company was the first to rise to the challenge, providing packaging that would be used on some of the world’s most famous expeditions into the great unknown. From these beginnings, the HACCP has maintained an incredibly rigorous process to protect contents from biological, chemical and physical hazards.
This is a huge victory for us. From a small business with a love for nostalgic tins, we’ve come a long way with award-winning designs, an incredible variety of products, bespoke service and now the green light from an internationally recognised body for safety and quality.
The sky really is the limit for this family business. Over the last 30 years, we’ve continued to develop packaging that is both practical and memorable. From biscuits and sweets to candles, gifts and keepsakes, our custom tins are designed to help brands present their products beautifully while giving customers something worth holding on to.
This certification along with the recycle and upcycle potential of tin packaging means Tinplate products are ideal for environmentally-conscious businesses and consumers. What’s more a well-aged tin with your brand and design emblazoned across it is a surefire way to endear yourself to the hearts and minds of British families.
