Primabake®: Setting the Global Standard for Certified, Transparent, and Traceable Baking Paper

In today’s global market, where supply chains are increasingly complex and competition intensifies, Primabake® stands as the undisputed reference for certified, transparent, and traceable baking paper.With multiple international certifications — including CMA, BPI, and TÜV— Primabake® has built its reputation on trust, consistency, and compliance with the world’s highest quality standards.

But what truly distinguishes Primabake® is not only its performance or certifications — it’s the integrity behind the product: every roll, every sheet, every fiber is made with full traceability and transparency, ensuring safety and reliability from raw material to finished product.

Rising Market Risks: The Challenge of Unverified Imports

In recent years, the European and North American baking paper markets have seen a growing influx of low-cost imported products, often promoted as “eco-friendly” or “certified” without meeting the rigorous standards imposed by international authorities.

Many of these imports are produced outside established quality frameworks, and some even circulate with fake, misleading, or incomplete certifications, putting both professionals and end-users at risk.These fake certifications often reuse old or revoked license numbers, copy official logos without authorization, or invent nonexistent certification bodies to give an illusion of legitimacy.

These deceptive practices undermine the credibility of sustainable manufacturing and endanger consumer trust, especially in sectors like food contact materials, where safety, hygiene, and consistency are non-negotiable.

Primabake® stands firmly against this trend — leading by example through verified, audited, and fully transparent production processes.

Traceability: Why Accountability Should Be An Obligation

At the heart of Primabake®’s philosophy lies traceability — the ability to track every batch of baking paper back to its origin.This ensures compliance with European and international regulations, including:

• EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended to come into contact with food.
• Regulation (EU) No 2023/2006 on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for food-contact materials.
• New requirements under the European Green Deal and Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which strengthen the need for verifiable environmental and safety data.

Primabake® aligns fully with these frameworks — and in many aspects, goes beyond them. Every stage of its process, from fiber selection to final conversion, is documented, monitored, and verifiable. Any changes to the composition of process equipment are also subject to strict regulatory and technical approval, ensuring both food safety compliance and the preservation of the paper’s essential characteristics — non-stick performance, mechanical strength, and consistency — for the benefit of customers and consumers alike.

This level of control is not only about compliance — it’s about accountability, transparency, and consumer trust. It also directly addresses one of the most frequent concerns raised within the industry: the lack of consistency and reliability observed in certain imported papers. By maintaining full traceability and verifiable certification, Primabake® provides professionals with the assurance of quality and safety that others simply cannot guarantee.

Transparency That Protects Professionals and Consumers

Transparency means that nothing is hidden.Primabake® provides full documentation, auditable certification trails, and open communication about product composition, sourcing, and compliance.

This clarity ensures that every Primabake® product meets:

• The strictest food safety standards in Europe and North America.
• Verified environmental certifications (CMA, BPI, TÜV).
• Consistent mechanical and heat performance for professional use.

By upholding such transparency, Primabake® safeguards its partners — distributors, manufacturers, and end-users — against the uncertainty of unverified imports and false sustainability claims.

Why Traceability and Transparency Matter More Than Ever

In an era of greenwashing and counterfeit documentation, traceability and transparency are no longer optional — they are the foundation of product integrity.

Consumers and professional users have the right to know that the paper they use in their ovens is safe, compliant, and responsibly made.With Primabake®, that assurance is backed by third-party audits, independent laboratory testing, and continuous certification renewals under the supervision of trusted authorities.

Every claim is verifiable, every certificate authentic, and every standard met or exceeded.

How to Protect Yourself Against Fake Certifications

Professionals and buyers can take a few simple but critical steps to verify authenticity and protect themselves from fraudulent claims:

• Each valid certification (CMA, BPI, TÜV, etc.) carries a unique registration number that can be checked directly on the certifying organization’s website.
• Legitimate certificates are always issued to a specific company and product line — not “transferable” across brands.
• Be cautious of suppliers unwilling to share traceable documentation or laboratory test reports.
• Prioritize products coming from audited facilities that follow European or North American manufacturing norms for food-contact materials.

By taking these steps, buyers can ensure they are working with authentic, certified products — not counterfeit or unverified alternatives.

Primabake® — The Benchmark for Trust and Quality

Primabake® is more than high-performance baking paper — it is a symbol of responsibility, transparency, and excellence in an increasingly uncertain market.

By adhering to the strictest European and international standards, and by embracing traceability and openness as core values, Primabake® continues to set the global benchmark for certified, sustainable, and trustworthy baking paper.

Because when it comes to safety, quality, and ethics — nothing should ever be left to chance.
