Graphic Measures International (GMI) certification is a process that holds packaging suppliers accountable to established brand owner standards.

Other areas evaluated included press quality (registration, trapping, die-line accuracy, finishing) and quality assurance (process implementation, audits, traceability, barcode readability, and non-compliance protocol).
