Keenpac UK Awarded FSC Certification
Keenpac UK, one of the UK’s largest suppliers of bespoke retail bags and packaging has just been awarded FSC certification. The accreditation process, which was started in January this year, means that Keenpac can now supply FSC certified products, right from source all the way to store.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation, established to ensure the responsible management of the world’s forests. Its rigorous certification process allows consumers to see a clear ‘chain of custody’, tracing wood-based products right back to their original source. It is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide.
Said Keenpac’s MD Helen Cockerham, “We are delighted to have achieved FSC Certification. As a company, it is important to us that we continue to be proactive in supporting the needs of our retail customers. Consumers are very concerned about the state of the world’s forests, so having the FSC certification is just one more step in helping us provide retailers with genuine environmental packaging solutions for their customers.”
“The audit process was extremely rigorous, to ensure we had the right processes in place. The environmental message has been adopted by every individual within the company as well as our suppliers, so we are thrilled that we came through with flying colours.’’
FSC certification is particularly important today when so many products are sourced from abroad, where having the FSC logo means that customers can be reassured that the packaging they see can be proven to have come from carefully managed sources”.
Having reached this first stage, Keenpac is now preparing the way to attain FSC certification in further product categories.

Executive Packaging
To help celebrate their 10th anniversary, Keenpac Switzerland and Keenpac UK Design & Innovation combined to develop, design, and produce a range of luxury gloss laminated bags for Europe’s leading provider of executive jet charter and personalized travel services, Global Jet.
The bags have the new 10th anniversary logo. The logo and city list were amended by our graphics team to show the 10 year status of the company and the increased amount of the cities the company now operate from, the latest of which being Beijing!
The bags were then mocked-up in house, using the latest ink jet printer technology. These were sent to the customer and who approved production of the bags from these mock ups. Therefore cutting out the costly and timely sampling process.
Keenpac’s Packaging Designer & Technologist Pete Nicholls said “This is a great example of being able to help our customers design, approve, and manufacture a range of luxury bags without having to sample from our factory”
