European Market

European buyers often ask for food-contact declarations, material traceability, and audited packaging systems. BRC certification is commonly used by retailers and brand owners as part of supplier approval.

United States Market

US buyers typically focus on FDA-compliant materials, supplier quality records, and proof that packaging is appropriate for the intended product. Documentation needs vary by product and distribution channel.

China Market

China requires food contact packaging manufacturers to meet local quality and safety requirements. Jiayi holds QS certification to support buyers selling into or sourcing for the Chinese market.
