A Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is a crucial technical document that serves as a passport for your packaging. It guarantees that the materials used are completely food-safe and will not transfer harmful substances, alter the taste, or affect the smell of your product. It ensures your packaging complies with strict European regulations, such as (EU) No. 10/2011.

No, you do not. At PouchDirect, we believe food safety is a standard, not an option. That is why we automatically include a valid Declaration of Conformity with every single order you place with us. Whether you order 100 stock items or 100,000 custom-printed pouches, the DoC is included at no extra cost.

Yes, consumer health is our top priority. We maintain the largest stock of stand-up pouches in Europe (over 3 million units ready to ship from our facility in the Netherlands). We guarantee that our entire inventory is 100% BPA-free. Instead of older coatings, we use modern, safe alternatives to protect both your product and your customers.

If you are selling food products within the European Union, having a DoC is a legal requirement. Retailers, supermarkets, and health inspectors will ask for this document during audits. Having a valid DoC from PouchDirect means your paperwork is always audit-ready, saving you time and protecting your brand's reputation.

Absolutely. Sustainability and food safety go hand-in-hand. Our 100% recyclable mono-material pouches undergo the same rigorous migration testing (simulating heat and long-term storage) as our traditional packaging. They meet all European standards, including the upcoming PPWR regulations, and are fully certified for direct food contact.

Yes, you can! Our specialists at the PouchDirect headquarters in Epe, The Netherlands, have over 15 years of experience in food packaging. If you are unsure which barrier properties (like oxygen or moisture protection) your specific food type requires, you can contact us directly. We will help you choose the perfect, fully compliant material.
