What we couldn't verify
We did not visit this company on site. See the limits that apply to every listing.
- IFS PACsecure and UN packaging certification are self-reported; neither has an allowlisted registry or canonical mapping for independent confirmation
- The split between self-manufactured and distributed/resold product is not disclosed
- Hybrid model: C.L. Smith both manufactures (blow molding) and distributes/resells third-party packaging, so not all supplied product is self-manufactured
- IFS PACsecure is self-reported with no allowlisted registry available to confirm it independently
