Quality Assurance

Quality built into
the packaging route

Certifications, testing, documentation and production discipline.

  • Certified partner plants

    Relevant food safety and quality standards across approved production routes.

  • Testing protocols

    Checks for wall thickness, pressure, impact, thermal shock and structural performance.

  • AQL standards

    Inspection and acceptance levels agreed around project requirements.

  • Documentation support

    Batch, QA, certification and export documentation where required.

  • Production discipline

    Packing, palletising, delivery and partner plant controls considered before dispatch.

Certifications

Standards that support safer, more reliable packaging supply

Phoenix works through certification-aware production routes and partner plants, supporting customers with the quality, food safety and documentation standards their packaging projects require.

Applicable standards depend on production route and project requirements. Certificates for a specific order are shared with your procurement team on request.

Food safety systems

Food safety system certification for food-grade packaging routes.

ISO 22000

Food safety management standards where applicable.

ISO 9001

Quality management systems and process controls.

ISO 14001

Environmental management standards where applicable.

HACCP

Hazard analysis and control processes where relevant to the production route.

GMP

Good manufacturing practice aligned production environments where relevant.

Testing & Inspection

Checks that protect performance beyond the design stage

Glass packaging has to work through filling, sealing, packing, transit and shelf life. Phoenix helps align packaging routes with the relevant testing and inspection requirements before delivery.

Filling and inspection machinery

Wall thickness

Checks consistency across the glass body.

Vertical load

Assesses stacking and structural pressure.

Impact testing

Reviews resistance to handling and movement.

Compression loading

Supports packing and palletising requirements.

Internal pressure

Relevant for products with pressure or sealing requirements.

Annealing checks

Helps identify stress in glass after forming.

Thermal shock

Relevant where temperature change is part of filling or use.

Precision camera inspection

Supports visual and dimensional inspection where available.

AQL standards

Defines agreed inspection and acceptance levels.

Documentation

The paperwork matters too

For export, regulated categories and procurement teams, packaging documentation can be as important as the bottle itself. Phoenix supports the documentation needed to help customers review, receive and use packaging with confidence.

Export documents

For customers shipping into regional or international markets.

Batch records

Production and batch references where required.

QA documentation

Quality checks, inspection references and supporting records.

Certification support

Relevant certification documents based on production route.

Delivery documentation

Packing, shipment and handover details.

Compliance references

Supporting documentation for regulated product categories where relevant.

Production Discipline

Quality is planned before production starts

01
Product & filling context
How the packaging will be filled, sealed, packed and used.
02
Specification alignment
Volume, neck finish, closure fit, label area, carton and finish.
03
Production route
Selected on capability, certification and project needs.
04
Inspection standards
Agree relevant checks, documentation and acceptance levels.
05
Packing & delivery
Prepared for movement, storage, delivery and handover.
Quality in Customisation

Custom finishes still need production discipline

Decorative glass, colour finishes and custom shapes must still perform through filling, packing, shipping and shelf life. Phoenix helps align visual ambition with quality checks, inspection standards and delivery requirements.

  • Custom shapes

    Filling method, stability, label area, packing and production route all reviewed.

  • Embossing & debossing

    Raised or recessed detail designed around moulding, inspection and handling.

  • Etching & decorative detail

    Reviewed for consistency, legibility and production practicality.

  • Ceramic spray & colour finishes

    Considered for durability, handling, packing and shelf presentation.

  • Closures & fit

    Matched to neck finish, seal requirements and product use.

  • Range development

    Consistency across shape language, closures, finishes and documentation.
