Quality Management System

Frankston Packaging’s Quality Management System has been meticulously developed to meet the exacting standards of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) while closely emulating the requirements of ISO 9000. In addition, we are committed to protecting the safety and quality of the food supply chain by closely following the American Institute of Baking (AIB) guidelines during the manufacture of direct food contact products. Frankston Packaging is devoted to continuous improvement and quality control throughout our process. Incoming raw materials are rigorously tested before being released for production to ensure we use not only the best materials but to guarantee repeatable results. Each step in the process has critical to quality (CTQ) real-time testing performed utilizing Statistical Process Control (SPC) which in turn drives Six Sigma process improvements. We employ a wide range of quality tools to accomplish these improvements with both handheld and scanning spectrodensitometers, score bend reduction, opening force, coefficient of friction (COF), viscosity, UPC scanning, glue detection, and dyne level testing. Frankston Packaging’s success relies not only on leading-edge continuous improvement and quality practices but on the skills of our enthusiastic and experienced workforce. We ensure each employee is thoroughly trained with certification classes and testing for each job function. Daily quality demonstration audits drive behavioral and procedural improvements to ensure consistency and adherence to policy in each step of the process. At Frankston Packaging, we are committed to delivering on spec, on time, every time.
