Factory Inspections
All factories that currently manufacture goods for The Pepin Press hold appropriate certificates in
testimony of good labour conditions and responsible environmental policies. Production sites are in Malaysia, Singapore and The Netherlands.  We extensively inspect all factories ourselves, verifying, among other things, the general working environment, labour conditions and waste disposal. The Pepin Press works closely with its manufacturers and visits often take several working days, supervising production and following all steps in the production chain from the storage of our own paper stocks, prepress, printing, binding and packing. We are confident that no child labour nor any form of forced labour is being used in any factory producing Pepin Press’ products.

standards. Certificates and audit reports currently held include FSC®, PEFCTM, EU Ecolabel, ISO 9001,
