Can you print the certificate No onto my packaging bags when you make the packaging bags
from a custom supplier?
Yes, but you need to get authorization first from the supplier,
the supplier who makes your packaging bags need to give you authorization first.
Should I pay for the authorization？
Yes, this process needs some charge to give the certificate agency,
because they need to do the record,
and make sure you and the supplier have a relationship with the business.
