The range of products is highly differentiated and is capable meeting any requirements thanks to the experience of the specialised staff, who are able to conceive and develop, with creative fantasy, customised prints on different packages, in accordance with the customers’ specific requirements. The technical production standard sets out cutting dimensions for the elements that make up the packaging, which range from a minimum of 30cm x 20cm to 60cm x 40cm for plywood, masonite and MDF. In any case, the technical staff is always ready to assist customers with any new solutions. 

The company is capable of fully complying with the delivery deadlines according to the conditions that have been set out in the order, by carrying out with its own vehicles, if necessary, the transport of the goods to their destination. 

The packaging is customised on all sides with colour prints, reproducing the customer’s company trademark as well as all the indications provided for by the norms in force on the subject, thereby adding value to the product contained therein. As far as the trademark is concerned, the company that is responsible for the design itself can be consulted. 

Gli elementi che compongono l’imballaggio possono essere realizzati nei seguenti materiali: (da tradurre)
Fibreboard ( or masonite)
This is a high-density panel, manufactured with moist fibres that are compressed at a high pressure and temperature. The fibre’s natural resin cements them together. Fibreboard is also known as “Masonite”, a commercial name that is commonly used in Italy to indicate this type pf fibre panel in general, also known as “Hardboards”. Its most important characteristic is its rigidity. Only one side is smooth and enamelled and/or printed. It is a material that is quite heavy, very inexpensive and is available in various thicknesses and sizes. 

MDF, or Medium Density Fibreboard
The artificial panels known as Medium Density Fibreboards have smooth surfaces on both sides: they are manufactured by means of a dry process. The fibres are linked to one another by means of a synthetic adhesive resin. They have a uniform structure and a fine texture which allows the edges as well as the sides to be machine-processed. This means that the MDF panels can be processed like normal wood, and can also replace it in certain circumstances. The MDF panels are available in various thickness and in a wide variety of sizes.

Plywood
Plywood is a laminated material made up of thin sheets of wood known as construction veneer, the fibres of which are directed at an angle of 90 degrees one from the other to “compensate” for the natural movement of the wood. This creates a stable panel, in single or laminated sheets, which does not warp and which does not have a natural deformation direction. The two superficial veneers are called “faces”. When one of the two is of a better quality than the other, we say that the panel has a “front” and a “back”.
The lamination of wood is a technique that was known to artisans in the past, but plywood is a relatively modern material that was produced for the first time halfway through the 19th century. The sizes in which the plywood panels are manufactured, their stability and the fact that they are easy to use ensure that plywood is widely used in the manufacture of packaging.
There are a great variety of thicknesses and sizes of plywood panels, although, often, even when they are expressed in metric units, they derive from measurements expressed in a whole number of feet (Anglo-Saxon measurements).
