Processes

We control the whole process at our plant, from the customer’s file to the folded, palletised carton.

1. Design and prepress

  • Structural design and graphic design.
  • Advice on materials and finishes.
  • Physical mock-ups on a sample plotter.
  • CTP (computer to plate) prepress: plates imaged directly from the file, with no film.
  • Automatic Pantone ink dispensing to guarantee colour on every run.

2. Printing

  • UV offset and conventional offset.
  • Reactive inks and in-line finishes.
  • New automatic printing line commissioned in 2026 under the project supported by CDTI. More information under Grants.

3. Finishing

  • Embossing and debossing.
  • Braille for pharmaceutical packaging, inspected with the DOT SCAN system.
  • Hot stamping.
  • Varnishes, lamination and microflute laminating.
  • Alphanumeric coding and special labelling (scented, RFID).

4. Die cutting and gluing

  • Die cutting of solid board, microflute and plastic.
  • Gluing of straight-line, crash-lock and special cartons, with a machine vision system that checks every carton.
  • PUR adhesive for plastic products.
  • Window patching and in-line labelling.
  • Robotic palletising at the end of the line.

5. Quality control

  • Robinson test: verification that the packaging keeps the food product’s aroma and flavour intact.
  • Olfactory test.
  • Colour and register control during the run.
  • Testing and traceability in line with our certified management systems. See Quality and certificates.
