Our Wood Packaging is ISPM 15 Certified & Stamped
At Bentley World-Packaging, we care deeply about engineering custom packaging solutions that provide the necessary protection to keep your products safe. But we’re also concerned about the global spread of timber-based pests and diseases. That’s why we adhere to the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15). ISPM 15 states the need to treat wood materials of a thickness greater than 6mm and affects all wood packaging material requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide and stamped or branded, with a mark of compliance before being shipped internationally.
