Responsible manufacturing practices have always been an important value at Hung Hing. Our success in continually working towards higher standards of employee wellbeing, sustainable resources and responsible manufacturing, are reflected in the many certifications we have achieved and work hard to maintain, so that we can provide you with the confidence you need in us as a conscientious part of your supply portfolio.
Our policy on paper and board purchasing is to source all our paper and board from third-party certified mills for FSC, PEFC and SFI* wherever possible. This means that we make every effort to ensure that our paper grades held in stock have been sourced from accredited mills. Whilst not all paper and board will carry FSC or PEFC chain of custody, they will originate from highly responsible sources through these accredited mills. There are notable exceptions to this, but they are few and most will use recycled fibre content. In light of emerging markets, Hung Hing’s paper policy will take into account the special needs of those customers.
If you do require a particular paper or certification, this must still be requested at quoting stage as per current practice, as there are premiums on certain brands and FSC materials in particular.
To compliment our responsible paper purchasing policy, we also maintain our FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody certification at both our Shenzhen and Heshan printing operations.
