Why SQF Certification Matters
The SQF Program, Safe Quality Food, is a globally recognised food safety and quality system. It is benchmarked to the Global Food Safety Initiative which means it is accepted and respected by major retailers, regulators and markets around the world. With more than fourteen thousand certified sites across more than forty countries, SQF is one of the most trusted programs in the world.
For packaging, SQF ensures that materials, production environments and processes all meet strict requirements designed to protect your product and your customers.

Why It Matters For Your Brand
SQF certification is more than a box to tick. It is a clear signal that your brand takes food safety, quality and compliance seriously.
When you choose Brightprint, you benefit from:
- Packaging produced in clean, controlled and fully audited facilities
- Materials and processes that meet international food safety standards
- Systems built around science backed guidelines including HACCP and ISO 17065
- Consistent documentation and traceability for every production stage

Why Food Related Brands Should Choose an SQF packaging NZ Certified Supplier
If your product is food related, your packaging supplier is part of your food safety system. Using a non certified supplier increases risk and may affect your ability to supply major retailers or secure export partnerships.
Brightprint provides the assurance that:
- All food safe and food contact packaging meets global standards
- Processes are verified by independent auditors
- Your packaging is produced in a controlled and compliant environment
With very few certified suppliers in New Zealand, choosing Brightprint supports both safety and long term reliability.
Why This Is Essential for Export Products
SQF certification is a major advantage for brands entering or expanding into export markets. Many international retailers and distributors prefer or require packaging made by an SQF approved supplier because it meets the food hygiene and safety expectations of global markets.
By choosing Brightprint, you gain:
- A smoother pathway for export approvals
- Reduced risk of delays or additional checks at the border
- Packaging that supports the flow of your product across international markets
- Reassurance for end users that your product has been packed in packaging produced in a certified, audited and safe environment
Export requirements are increasing and choosing a certified supplier early helps future proof your brand.
