Hello,
We are planning to rent a clipnet machine to start packing citrus with it. This means that we need to purchase 3 new packaging materials: the net, the small metal piece to close the net and a label which will be attached to the metal. It is obviouse for everyone that the net has direct contact with the fruit, but what do you consider of the other 2 componets of the packaging (the metal piece and the label). Although they are not initially intended to come in direct contact with the product, I still see that they might incidently come in contact with it, depending on how the label and metal might rest on the product. My intention is to ask food contact declarations of compliance for all 3 elements, but I'm already getting affraid of the reaction that I will receive. A lot of packaging material manufacturiers, especially for articles that we would put to the category "various", have no idea of what I'm asking from them.
I attached a picture found on internet to make it more clear what I'm saying. picture clipneted oranges.jpg 176.84KB 0 downloads
