GMI Certification Process

The GMI certification process is as follows:

1. Packaging suppliers must submit a completed self-assessment form to GMI Corporation. The purpose of this self-assessment form is to minimize the chances of unqualified certified suppliers being certified.
2. GMI reviews the self-assessment form.
3. Schedule a production on-site assessment.
4. The packaging supplier must print the GMI-specified test file and prepare it for on-site inspection by GMI consultants.
5. GMI will reviews on-site assessments, mainly for four packaging production categories: pre-press, plate-making, in-press, and post-press. Each production category is subdivided into subcategories that will be measured against five criteria: program documentation, maintenance, operational capabilities, equipment performance, and training. Each standard is scored on a (0-3) scale, where 0 means complete compliance, 1 means minor defect, 2 means major defect, and 3 means extremely serious defect.
6. The GMI Certified Company will use the Packaging Supplier Site Evaluation Form to document the results.
7. Based on the data entered by the GMI certification company, the on-site assessment form will generate a score that will be used to assess certification.
