Artha-S Company Certification: Quality and Safety of Flexible Packaging
When a business orders packaging, it chooses not just film or a printed bag. It chooses a partner on whom the stability of packing, the appearance of the product, the safety of contact with the product, and the trust of the end customer depend.
At Artha-S, we clearly understand that for B2B clients, packaging is part of the production process, logistics, sales, and brand reputation. That is why we work not only on the external appearance of packaging, but also on the systematic nature of production, quality control, and documentary confirmation of our processes and materials.
Artha-S is a Ukrainian manufacturer of flexible polymer packaging. We work with BOPP, CPP, and PE films, produce roll packaging, bags, packaging with flexographic printing, and perform perforation and cutting of materials according to the client’s technical parameters.
Our advantage is not only in our production capabilities. We confirm quality through certification of the management system and laboratory testing of materials. For the client, this means greater confidence, easier supplier verification, and lower risks when ordering packaging.
Why Certification Matters in Packaging Production
Flexible packaging is used in areas where stability and safety are of great importance. If the film is not suitable for the product, if the roll does not work properly on the packing line, or if the supplier cannot provide quality confirmation, the client risks losing time, money, and customer trust.
That is why we treat certification not as a formality, but as part of responsible production. For us, it is a way to show that Artha-S works systematically: controls processes, selects materials for a specific task, follows agreed parameters, and can provide the client with the necessary confirmations for technical, procurement, or export verification.
For the Ukrainian market, this is especially relevant. More and more companies are checking suppliers, requesting certificates, test reports, information about materials, and their suitability for contact with food products. Therefore, a certified packaging manufacturer in Ukraine has an advantage not only in price or delivery terms, but also in trust.
ISO 9001:2015 — The International Language of Quality
Artha-S has a quality management system certificate in accordance with DSTU ISO 9001:2015. The certificate covers the production and sale of plastic packaging, as well as the printing of other products. The certificate is valid from 23.12.2025 to 23.12.2028.
For us, ISO 9001:2015 is not just a mark on paper. It is confirmation that quality in the company is treated as a managed process: with responsibility, documentation, control, work with customer requirements, and stable order fulfillment.
ISO 9001:2015 has international significance. It is a standard understood not only by Ukrainian clients, but also by partners who follow international quality management practices. Therefore, for food manufacturers, packing companies, retail chains, and exporters, cooperation with Artha-S looks more transparent and predictable.
We do not promise the “perfection of every product” with beautiful words. We confirm a systematic approach to production, process control, and the fulfilment of B2B orders.
Laboratory Testing of CPP Film with Flexographic Printing
A separate level of trust is the testing of specific materials. Our CPP film with flexographic printing underwent laboratory testing at Intertek Italia S.p.A.
The CPP film sample was tested according to indicators important for packaging, including:
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons;
phthalate plasticisers;
overall migration;
specific migration of heavy metals;
primary aromatic amines;
odor;
overall migration with the Tenax simulant;
specific migration of individual substances.
According to the key tests, the sample received a P — meets requirement rating, meaning that it meets the established requirements within the scope of the tests performed.
For our clients, this is a strong argument. If a company orders CPP film for food packaging, packaged products, or retail goods, it is important for them to see not only high-quality printing and an attractive appearance. It is important to understand that the material has been tested according to parameters that matter for the safety and stability of packaging.
BOPP Film: Confirmation According to European Requirements
BOPP film is one of the key materials we work with. It is valued for its transparency, gloss, tear strength, barrier properties, and presentable appearance. BOPP is used for flexographic printing, lamination, and the production of flexible packaging materials for food products and everyday goods.
For BOPP film, we have LABEKO test reports. LABEKO is an accredited testing laboratory in accordance with STN EN ISO/IEC 17025. This is important because it is not an internal assessment by the manufacturer, but independent laboratory testing.
BOPP film was evaluated in the context of European requirements for materials that come into contact with food products. In particular, this refers to Regulation 1935/2004/EC, Commission Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011, and Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2020/1245.
According to the test results, the tested samples comply with the requirements of the specified European regulations within the scope of the migration tests performed and do not cause unacceptable changes in the organoleptic properties of food products.
For the international market, this is especially important. The phrase “the film is suitable for products” is not enough. Businesses need specific reports, specific regulations, and specific results. This is exactly the approach we consider correct for the modern B2B market.
Why This Matters for the Ukrainian Market
In Ukraine, packaging is increasingly evaluated not only by price. Clients are interested in whether the supplier can confirm the quality of materials, whether they understand the requirements of food packaging, whether they have experience working with regular B2B orders, and whether they can consistently repeat parameters from batch to batch.
For manufacturers of food products, greens, bread, confectionery, snacks, groceries, household goods, and retail products, our confirmations have practical value. They help pass supplier verification faster, prepare technical documentation for procurement, confirm material quality to a partner or retail chain.
For Ukrainian exporters, this is even more important. When a product enters the international market, packaging becomes part of the verification of the entire supply chain. The availability of ISO 9001:2015, laboratory tests of BOPP and CPP films, as well as reports referring to European regulations, helps the company look stronger in the eyes of international partners.
Membership in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Artha-S is a member of the Dnipropetrovsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The membership certificate is valid from 08.04.2026 to 08.04.2027.
For a B2B client, this does not replace laboratory testing or ISO certification, but it adds business weight to the company. This is especially relevant when it comes to long-term cooperation, export contacts, new partners, or procurement, where not only price matters, but also the manufacturer’s reputation.
We understand that it is important for the client to work with a company that has not only equipment, but also an official presence in the business environment, confirmation of activity, and reputational markers.
What Materials Do We Use
We work with several main groups of materials in order to select packaging for the client’s specific task.
BOPP film is suitable where transparency, gloss, rigidity, a presentable appearance, and barrier properties are important. It can be used for packaging food products, everyday goods, roll packaging, labels, and printed products.
CPP film has high transparency, elasticity, mechanical strength, resistance to acids and fats, heat-sealing ability, metallization capability, and printability. Microperforation can also be applied to CPP if the product requires controlled air exchange.
PE film is used where strength, tear resistance, water resistance, and reliable seam sealing are important. It is a practical material for bags and various formats of polymer packaging.
We do not offer the client one “universal” film for everything. Our task is to select the material according to the product, packing equipment, storage conditions, printing requirements, ventilation, and appearance.
Flexographic Printing, Perforation, Cutting, and Bag Production
The quality of packaging depends not only on the material. It is important how the print is applied, how the roll is cut, how the seams are made, whether perforation is needed, and whether the format fits the client’s equipment.
We use flexographic printing to apply images to flexible materials. This method is well suited for packaging because it allows working with different types of films, printing from roll to roll, and creating branded packaging for serial production.
Perforation helps create air exchange inside the package. This is important for products that need moisture removal or controlled ventilation: greens, bread, vegetables, fruits, and other products that should not “steam up” inside the packaging.
Web cutting makes it possible to prepare rolls according to the client’s parameters: width, diameter, roll weight, and compatibility with packing equipment.
Bag production includes sealing the side seams and, in some cases, the bottom. These are the details that influence whether the packaging will be convenient to use, stable in serial application, and reliable during transportation.
For Which Clients Is Our Certification Especially Important
Our certificates and laboratory tests are most important for companies that cannot afford to take risks with packaging. These include:
food manufacturers;
agricultural enterprises;
packing companies;
retail chains;
exporters;
brands that order printed film;
companies that need documents for supplier verification;
manufacturers working with regular deliveries and stable print runs.
For such clients, it is important that the supplier can confirm not only production capabilities, but also a responsible approach to quality. Artha-S has several arguments for this at once: ISO 9001:2015, laboratory testing of CPP film, LABEKO reports for BOPP film, and membership in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
International Level: Why This Is a Strong Argument
At the international level, trust in a manufacturer is formed through transparency. A partner wants to see that the company does not simply declare quality, but can confirm it in the language of standards, reports, and regulations.
In our case, it is important to highlight three levels of confirmation.
The first level is the quality management system. ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized standard for quality management systems. It is a clear signal for clients in Ukraine and abroad.
The second level is laboratory testing of materials. The Intertek report for CPP film and LABEKO reports for BOPP film demonstrate that specific samples were tested according to important indicators.
The third level is the European context for food packaging. AVA and HST-1 films were evaluated with regard to European regulations for materials that come into contact with food products.
The combination of these three levels makes Artha-S’s position stronger: we have a quality management system, tested materials, and documentation that is understandable for the international market.
What This Gives the Client in Practice
For the client, certification is not an abstract advantage. It has specific benefits.
First, it is easier to verify the supplier. If a company has ISO 9001:2015 and laboratory reports, it is easier for the procurement department to justify the choice of manufacturer.
Second, there are fewer risks. The client sees that the materials have been tested according to parameters that matter for food packaging, odor, migration of substances, and contact with the product.
Third, it is better for export. If the client’s products enter the international market, packaging with documentary confirmation looks more reliable for partners, distributors, and retail chains.
Fourth, it supports the brand’s reputation. Quality packaging affects the appearance of the product, product preservation, logistics stability, and customer perception.
