“Packaging that is merely compliant does not sell.”
- Cindy Musters -
Compliant and eye-catching
All disciplines united
Cindy dives into the PPWR, reads SDS sheets, and knows the exceptions for each country. Soon, she and several colleagues will attend CLP training, focused on the correct classification, packaging, and labeling of hazardous substances. Cindy says: “Packit invests heavily in keeping its employees’ knowledge up to date. This is necessary, because in the world of packaging, you never stop learning.”
“I am not a quality officer, but the more you know, the better you understand where the opportunities lie and how to anticipate changing legislation. Everything comes together on the packaging: procurement, marketing, design, and legislation.” And that is exactly where Cindy stands, as the link that brings everything together on a single label.
So, what does that label look like? Cindy laughs. This question is, of course, impossible to answer. She explains: “One country requires the country of origin on the label, another does not. With a mild chemical classification, warning pictograms are not required, but the phrases are. And the font size depends on both the content and the product type.” These are just a few examples. Cindy could talk about it for hours. It illustrates the daily complexity in which Packit operates.
According to Cindy, it is precisely this complexity that makes Packit so enjoyable. “I see the packaging process as a construction project. The packaging is the house where everything comes together. Colleagues, customers, suppliers: everyone helps build it. The requirements are serious, as are the deadlines, but there is always room for humor. Hard work and laughter go hand in hand. That is Packit.”
