Impress Pielkenrood has been ISO 9001-certified since 1991, which guarantees that our organisation is flexible and reliable. In this way our customers are assured that they will get quality products with added value.

Many filled goods are classified as dangerous with respect to transportation therefore the packaging needs to be specified to meet the specific regulations (UN). The majority of the products from Impress Zaandijk meet these UN-requirements. The conical cans (pails) can be used to pack liquids with a maximum mass density of 1.8 kg/l. There are various options for the lids such as the crimp lid, the latch lid and a UNOTOP-lid. There are also different types of closures and apertures.

In addition to the UN-approval Impress Zaandijk produces metal packaging with and without an internal coating. There are coatings for water-based, but also for solvent-based products.
