Rankings & Certifications

PEFC Chain of Custody

Hammer meets all of the requirements for the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Chain of Custody for specific papers used in our cut & stack operation. These papers have been certified as sustainably sourced and handled throughout the paper’s lifecycle, including their use in Hammer facilities.

Customer Spotlight: Beech-Nut Baby Food

Beech-Nut welcomed our initiative to remove poly-bags from our secondary packaging process, allowing us to test the concept with their pressure sensitive label rolls. As a result of their partnership, Hammer has expanded the program to most of our customers, eliminating nearly 4 tons of plastic annually from the land fill.
