The BRC IoP (British Retail Consortium and Institute of Packaging) category B accreditation will enable the Clondalkin-owned printer to produce labels for food products.
"We are not going to go after the food labelling sector in the general sense," said managing director Ian Wright. "We will only look at premium food applications."
The measures taken to attain the standard were overseen by Harlands hygiene manager Sue Webster and Kath Cotterill, Clondalkin Group quality manager.
