ASEAN Buyers Seek Clearer Food-Contact Declarations on Paper Wrap Programs
ASEAN food and bakery importers are asking Chinese paper wrap and bag suppliers for clearer food-contact declarations and ink/system documentation.
Food and bakery buyers across ASEAN markets are tightening RFQs for paper wraps, greaseproof sheets, and food bags, asking Chinese suppliers for clearer food-contact declarations and ink/system documentation.

Why buyers care: incomplete declarations stall retailer listings even when samples look acceptable.
Buyer takeaways
State the exact food-contact standard required in the RFQ.
Clarify whether print and adhesive systems are in scope.
Retain lot-linked certificates with golden samples.
