Paper and Cardboard for Food Packaging

Paper and Carton Packaging for Food Testing (SNI 8218 Standard)

Paper and carton packaging products for food, such as kraft paper, food boxes, paper bowls, cups, straws, and paper bags, are rigorously tested to ensure safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Following the SNI 8218 standard, testing includes assessments of physical properties, heavy metal content, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, total migration, and phthalate migration.

These tests verify that the packaging materials do not contain harmful substances that could pose a risk to food safety. Heavy metal testing checks for toxic metals, while formaldehyde and pentachlorophenol tests evaluate potential chemical hazards. Migration tests ensure that no harmful chemicals, like phthalates, migrate into the food.

By meeting these stringent requirements, paper and carton packaging for food offer safe, reliable, and eco-friendly solutions, contributing to consumer health and sustainability in food packaging.
