REX PACK® is just the latest in a wide range of products that you offer to the market, can you tell us more about it?

“The idea of ​​ Rex Pack® product was born in 2020 and thanks to the studies and production of special machinery we were able to respond to the need to package any product as quickly as possible without using tools such as scissors, adhesive tape or staples obtaining a perfect package at the same time. The innovation therefore consists in the ease of application, which does not require particular packaging skills, in the extreme speed as it saves over 80% of the time normally used in wrapping and in eco-sustainability as it is produced in paper and it is reusable. Rex Pack® is also produced with papers suitable for contact with food and water-repellent, always made up of 100% papers coming from European paper mills”.

As regards your production cycle, how are you organized, that is what technologies are you using?

“The production of all products takes place firstly with the choice of raw materials coming from our European suppliers, and then moving on to printing and subsequent production. The napkin lines, which produce over 10 million napkins a day, use water-based printing with flexographic technology and then move on to cutting and related packaging. The lines dedicated to gift paper printing concern coated and kraft papers which are printed thanks to machines with gravure technology, then cut, folded and/or rolled according to the needs of our customers. Finally, the packaging lines for shoppers with twisted paper handles, therefore 100% paper, first involve flexographic printing and then they move on to packaging machines”.

What is your response to the market’s requests for sustainability?

“The company has been certified for several years to ISO 14001, specific certification of an environmental management system, to ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and FSC certified. For over 12 years we have been printing and packaging 100% recycled paper and from 2022 all the shopping bags and napkins produced in our factories will have the compost ability certification. Our 7 photovoltaic systems, the first installed in 2007, produce over 108% of the energy needed in the months of greatest energy production”.
