FSC® and PEFC certificate transfer from the packaging industry
Firstly thank you to Cartonage for providing us with this case study, on your FSC® and PEFC certificate transfer from the packaging industry.
Cartonage is a British company that designs & manufactures cardboard folding cartons predominantly, but not exclusively, for the EU food industry.
Established in 1995 by an entrepreneurial constructional carton designer – Phil Webster, Cartonage remains a customer-focused privately owned business where all the key shareholders still remain actively involved in the business today, this includes Phil’s son & his daughter. Initially operating from a site in Leeds the business was relocated to Dewsbury in 2007 to a facility that was ‘purpose built’ to meet the exacting standards of modern carton design & manufacture.
Cartonage has an additional associate folding carton business – KOJ Packaging Ltd. KOJ Packaging is based in a new location 5 miles from the current Cartonage factory.
KOJ has been owned by directors Andrew Eastham & Alan Pounder since 2004. In 2008, they, together with Phil Webster, established the current Cartonage/KOJ business. KOJ is a smaller ‘mirror image’ of the main Cartonage manufacturing site in terms of plant & capability and forms a key part of the business risk management strategy in terms of contingency for continuity of supply.
The company is proud of its heritage & continues to forge long-standing relationships with a valued & broad customer base which includes UK food retailers.
What drove you to obtain FSC® and PEFC Certification?
It was a customer requirement/demand which initially drove us to obtain Certification. However, once we achieved certification and a better understanding of the ethics of sourcing & traceability we realised the benefits and also gained confidence in supply.
What attracted you to use Interface for your certificate transfer?
Their 5-star customer reviews on Trustpilot and also their competitive price.
How have you found the process with Interface?
Very good. Their approval of the logo use in particular is quick and easy. The feedback they provide on the usage is also very helpful.
What benefits do you feel certification brings to your business?
Firstly it shows that we have good standards. Secondly, it allows us to appeal to customers who require certification.

PEFC Certification in the printing & packaging industry
Firstly thank you to Harlequin for providing us with this case study on PEFC Certification in the printing & packaging industry.
Harlequin Printing & Packaging was formed in July 1997 with the vision of becoming the market-leading supplier of printed and packaging products exclusively for the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) market.
The continual evolution and growth of the company has been built around the supply of high quality, proprietary B2B products, knowledge, and expertise through some of the longest-standing independent, multiple outlets and globally recognized brands through to the leading online food portal in the world.
With >20 years of experience, we are specialists in sleeves and cartons, short or long run, standard or complex point of sale packaging. We are also a BRC AA certified food packaging organization.
Commercial print and large format work run in parallel to packaging production.
Commercial brand literature encompasses all aspects of print marketing materials.
We are the print partner of choice for local governments, universities, corporate organisations, and SMEs alike.
We design and manufacture a wide range of standard and bespoke products personalized with a brand image. Applications include; sports arena, exhibitions, company signage, banners and posters, vehicle graphics, shop fronts, menu boards, etc.
The driver for PEFC certification
Consumer awareness of the environmental and social impacts of packaging has never been higher.
Harlequin is committed to fulfilling consumer and customer demands. Sourcing packaging materials that are certified sustainable, legally sourced, and also not connected to deforestation.
Purchasing PEFC certified board and paper provides assurance that the wood fibre used in the manufacturing process originates from forests where sustainable forest management practices are in place.
PEFC certified board/paper not only protects forests at source, but it also provides an input for the growing and critical recycled board market.
The use of PEFC materials supports Harlequin’s environmental credentials, increases supply chain transparency, and also improves customer/consumer engagement.
Why Interface?
Interface has been our certification body for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSC for a number of years. We have an excellent relationship with them and when considering extending our scope to PEFC they were the obvious choice.
In addition, the ability for a UKAS accredited certification body to combine ISO9001, ISO14001, and Chain of Custody (COC) certifications (FSC/PEFC) is key to our needs.
The process with Interface
The process with Interface could not have been better. From quotation, planning, conducting the audit, receipt of the external report and certificate.
The pandemic has posed challenges to all businesses and the way in which Interface has managed remote audits is to be applauded. Highly efficient and effective.
Highly recommended.
Benefits of certification
PEFC certification further underpins our environmental credentials. Likewise our commitment to providing sustainable packaging solutions. Therefore differentiates our company and products in the marketplace.
We will actively use the PEFC green logo. Therefore promoting the fact our products are manufactured from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources.

FSC® and PEFC certified windows and doors
Firstly thank you to ABL Doors & Windows for providing us with this case study on your FSC® and PEFC certified windows and doors.
Since 2003, ABL doors have been supplying and fitting precision-hung door sets. For housing developers, builders, and regional authorities on a local and national scale. Providing great value whilst also taking the hassle out of the door fitting process, in both new-build and renovation projects.
ABL doors were founded when Andy Williams, previously of the UK’s largest door slab manufacturer Premdor, spotted a frustration in the housing development market with the way that doors were sourced and fitted.
He noticed that the existing way the UK development market worked when it came to door hanging was slow, expensive, and inaccurate.
Taking inspiration from continental Europe and The USA, he decided to pursue the idea of precision-hanging doors in a factory setting. Simply installing a full, pre-hung doorset, consisting of frame, slab & furniture.
What drove you to obtain Certification?
Sustainability was our main driver for obtaining certification.
How have you found the process with Interface?
Excellent service as always
What benefits do you feel certification brings to your business?
Both FSC® and PEFC certification most importantly help us secure contracts with large housing developers. This is primarily due to an increase in the requirement of using sustainable products.
