Why Florence Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose FSC Certified Paper
FSC Certified Paper — The Global Standard for Responsible Forest Sourcing
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification is the global standard for verifying that the fiber in paper and board products comes from responsibly managed forests. FSC certification covers the full supply chain — from forest management practices to fiber processing to paper manufacturing to the converter and printer — through a documented chain-of-custody system that allows the FSC claim to be traced to certified forest origins.
FSC-certified packaging is available across all standard paper and board grades we offer — SBS, CRB, kraft, corrugated, and specialty papers. Adding FSC certification to your packaging program provides a recognized, third-party verified sustainability credential that supports sustainability marketing claims and ESG reporting.
FSC Certification Types
FSC 100% means all fiber in the paper comes from FSC-certified forests — the highest standard. FSC Mix means at least 70% of the fiber comes from FSC-certified, recycled, or controlled sources — the most flexible option for paper manufacturers that cannot guarantee 100% FSC-certified supply chains. FSC Recycled means all fiber comes from verified post-consumer or pre-consumer recycled sources. We specify the appropriate FSC claim type based on material availability and your sustainability objectives.
Using the FSC Logo on Packaging
Displaying the FSC logo on your packaging requires FSC trademark license through your converter — we are FSC chain-of-custody certified, allowing us to pass the FSC claim to your packaging. The FSC logo communicates your sustainability credential to consumers and retail buyers at a glance. We provide the certification documentation and logo usage files required for on-pack FSC claims.

FSC Certified Paper Packaging in Florence — FAQs
What does FSC certification actually guarantee?
FSC certification guarantees that the fiber in your packaging comes from forests managed according to FSC's environmental and social standards — including forest conservation, biodiversity protection, indigenous peoples' rights, and worker welfare. It does not guarantee any specific environmental performance metric, but provides a recognized third-party verification of responsible sourcing.
Can I use the FSC logo on my packaging?
Yes. We are FSC chain-of-custody certified — we can pass the FSC claim to your product packaging. Using the FSC logo on-pack requires your own FSC trademark license (available directly from FSC at modest annual cost) or through our certified status. We guide you through the process.
Is FSC certification more expensive?
FSC-certified board typically costs 2-8% more than non-certified equivalent grades. The premium varies by grade and market conditions. For brands with sustainability commitments, this modest premium provides recognized third-party verification worth significantly more in brand value.
