The technical experts at Prepack assist in the design and development of ration packs to meet nutritional, functional, climate, or shelf-life requirements. The product development process uses a proprietary Gate System to manage innovation. This process supports continuous improvement in packs and components and is a key performance measure across all our supply contracts.

Prepack’s Approved Supplier Program is a five-step process used to determine if a new Supplier or Subcontractor has the capability (food safety standards, appropriate certification, production capacity, minimal order quantities) to meet the Prepack standards and requirements.

Prepack’s Risk Assessment determines appropriate verification requirements commensurate with the risk. These requirements include ongoing surveillance audits, verification of Supplier/Subcontractor certification and Incoming Goods Inspections.
