Development of people-friendly packaging materials

Fuji Seal develops and provides people-friendly packaging materials, such as easy-to-hold products, light-weight products, and easy-to-read products.
We have so far strived through trial and error to resolve various customer issues. Although we have suffered numer-ous failures during this process, we have worked with determi-nation to resolve the issues and overcome these failures. We believe that this has enabled our products to be widely adopt-ed in various industries.

Shrink Sleeve Labels

Wider space for display and sealing function

Tamper-proof shrink sleeve labels were adopted for a new type of light-weight and shatter-proof bottles.
These light-weight and shatter-proof containers are not only easy for the user to hold and pour, but also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The wider space for display makes it easier to read a display on a label. Moreover, perforat-ed labels are easy to peel off, enabling the easy separation of labels.

Pressure Sensitive Labels

Easy-to-read display

Booklet-type labels with a wider space for display can provide a great deal of informa-tion. They serve not only as descriptions of new products but also as package leaflets which are hard to lose.

Spouted Pouches

Easier to open

Spouted pouches with easier-to-open caps were developed, so that they can be easily opened even by those who are weak-handed or do not have enough finger strength. These pouches are well received by our customers (consumers).

Fuji Seal Foundation

We started the scholarship program in FY2006 to provide scholarships to university and graduate students in Japan and international students. Since then, we have supported more than 400 students. We also began providing scholarships to local students overseas and supporting the Asia Student Package Design Competition (ASPaC) in FY2017 and FY2018, respectively.

Fuji Seal Foundation

Safety, Health, and Accident Prevention

The Fuji Seal Group places top priority on the safety and health of employees. We plan and take safety, health and accident prevention measures in a responsible manner to continue to ensure the safety and health of employees at each company and work site.

Safety, health and accident prevention management system

In each business region, an executive officer is responsible for safety, health, and accident prevention, and, at each company and factory, a Safety, Health and Accident Prevention Committee is established. In addition, information on minor incidents on-site is shared among the Group in order to take preventive measures.
We have also built a system in which, in the case of a labor accident and a fire, similar potential sites are promptly checked in all business regions and preventive measures are rolled out. We enhance our efforts to learn from past failures and to accumulate and standardize know-how about preventing accidents. We also take thorough measures to share information between the COO (Chief Operating Officer), who is responsible for overseeing safety, health, and accident prevention within the Fuji Seal Group, and the staff in each business region and each business segment and, in particular, to comply with laws, regulations, and internal rules, including auditing BCP.

Installation of imitative risk experience facilities

Imitative risk experience facilities are installed at factories in Japan, where subjects can actually experience the risk of being involved in a labor accident. These facilities are set up so that employees can experience potential risks in the workplace to learn the importance of safety physically and mentally, thereby improving their ability to prevent labor accidents from occurring and foresee potential risks.
Employees experience these imitative risks when joining the company as well as on a regular basis to raise their safety awareness.
