With today’s business requirements, the need for detailed accountability and traceability of raw materials should be of the utmost importance to converters who manufacture packaging for direct food contact. Because our plants consistently score Superior in these areas plus Superior in cleanliness and housekeeping, our customers have the security of knowing the paperboard they receive from Piper is certified.

This certification from AIB takes its place along with Piper’s SFI and FSC certification.


In coming months, Piper expects to announce the certification by WBENC as a wholly woman-owned business. ( Women’s Business Enterprise National Council)
