Product Safety and Compliance
BAG MAKERS' 5-Point Check Program
Our internal 5-Point Check Compliance Program is built on five key pillars: Social Compliance, Product Safety, Product Quality, Supply Chain Security, and Environmental Stewardship. This program includes third-party audits of our headquarters and supplier base that are completed to ensure products and processes meet or exceed established compliance standards, requirements, and laws.
Social Compliance
Our company and supply chain facilities adhere to legal and ethical international standards for social accountability, including those that impact wages, working hours, discriminatory hiring and employment practices, employee health and safety, forced labor, and child labor.
Product Safety
We have policies in place to detect and prevent non-compliant product from shipping to customers. This includes testing product materials and coatings, compliance with regulatory requirements, and an effective and efficient recall system.
Product Quality
We have documented procedures to ensure continuous adherence to product quality and performance standards, from design through production. This includes a formal quality manual, regular inspections, and a supplier qualification program.
Supply Chain Security
Our policies are designed to provide supply chain visibility and secure delivery of products manufactured and shipped under the BAG MAKERS name. Our program meets security criteria established by U.S. Custom’s C-TPAT program to protect our borders.
Environmental Stewardship
We promote ongoing conservation of the environment by complying with local regulations, recycling, and restricting banned substances.
Product Safety
Our products and coatings comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), California Proposition 65, and the Toxics in Packaging Prevention Act. All products and coatings are tested for the ASTM-F963-17 list of toxic heavy metals. Most products also use CPSIA-compliant product labeling and are covered by an online recall tracking program.
