Document Center Inc. knows how important packaging specifications are for businesses in general.  There's a new emphasis on life cycle management for products and that includes the development of packaging that can be easily recycled, as well as protect the goods enclosed.  Further, with global trade continuing to grow, the use of improved labeling that aids the transport of goods is also a high priority.

No company can afford to ignore these new releases and updated standards.  Make Document Center your Standards Experts and you'll become an informed user of standards!
