Independent Printing Company is FSC-certified, which can be an extensive process, but Vogel acknowledged the payoff is substantial. Meanwhile, The Flesh Company is both FSC and SFI chain of custody certified. Gerling remarked the certification process will cause less headaches if a company has good inventory control and accounting processes in place. "Once you have documented your processes, then you have to be able to prove that you have the 'checks' in place to ensure that you follow the same process every time. You also have to stand up to an annual recertification audit by the individual organizations," he stated.
