Getting packaging details from a supplier
Most small businesses cannot test what their boxes are made of, and they do not have to. Whoever sells them the packaging has to hand over the information and paperwork needed to show it meets the rules, in a language they can follow, on paper or by email. Asking for it is not a favour. It is something the supplier owes.
Worth knowingThis is how a business gets material details it has no way of measuring itself.
Situations where this one comes up
A business puts its own name or logo on the packaging it sends out, and posts orders to customers in more than one EU country. It is not a very small business by the size test, or it is but buys its packaging from abroad.
