Creating added value together
Wipak is more than a packaging manufacturer.
We are the creative director and sparring partner for our customers.
From a consumer’s point of view, our packages are part of their
product. It is therefore reasonable to work together when designing
this image. Together we are able to develop sustainable innovations,
thus creating added value.

“The service flexibility is impressive. Everybody in the food
industry knows that downtimes automatically cause financial
losses. And Wipak effectively prevents downtimes. Without any
compromise! This is the type of cooperation we like!”
Dörte Truelsen, Product Manager, Zur Mühlen Gruppe,
Böklunder Plumrose, Germany
Our goal:
the ideal solution for your requirement!
“Collaboration with Wipak always
yields good results in a short time,
no matter how complex the task. You
can see the extensive international
experience these guys have. And it
is always good to know that we have
the same goals.”
Kerstin Löbnitz, Herzgut Landmolkerei,
Germany
Barrier film made
of bio plastics
From the idea to the shelf
You have got the idea? We will help you to develop it. We can check the technical feasibility
of your concepts. This includes the optimization of film recipes, testing of various plastics
and sealing layers, selection of suitable paper
types for paper composites, and manufacturing of package and print samples.

It all starts with a vision!
Together we will work out the ideal solution
for your requirement – from the design right
to the printing technology optimization.
Packaging innovations are created by means
of a permanent dialog. We therefore offer to
support each new project right from the start
and to collaborate closely on the development.
lÉA NATuRe,
bio pizza
easy opening
Bio pizza is inside – and a mixture of paper
and plastic on the outside. lÉA Nature, made
in France, now counts on nature and sustainability in terms of packaging, too. The special
feature here is that paper has been processed
both in the lidding film and in the bottom web.
And it is also worth mentioning that the high
barrier film just developed by Wipak is based
on bio plastics.
Product protection, shelf life, or easy opening – the innovative paper composite offers the
same properties as flexible plastic packages
do. The pizza is packed under MAP conditions
and can be processed using all common
packaging machines.
“Wipak offers extensive and wellcoordinated service. It took us only six
months from the first brainstorming
to production.”
Károly Kovács, Head of Production,
PICK Szeged, Hungary
“The paper composite expresses naturalness and sustainability. We wanted to be the first company to offer such a
solution to its customers. Wipak has managed to transfer
our product philosophy to the package.”
Barthelemy Lelore, Product Manager, LÉA Nature, France
“The cooperation with Wipak has
demonstrated the possibilities of
state-of-the-art package design.”

Owner of Unilact, Rumania

One-Stop Shop
From Pack design to our excellent printing –
the Wipak Group offers all services as a one-stop shop solution.

Consulting and
project management
The idea is the beginning –
your idea. But will it be
possible to implement this
idea? Our Pack design and
print experts provide consulting for all technical and
creative questions – and they
set the course to make sure
that ideas can be turned into
market-ready packages.
Sampling takes place before production. We
manufacture prototypes with original materials – including different designs if required.
The benefit: haptic and optic correspond to
the future package. This saves you precious
time and costs and provides you a sound basis
for decision without having to waste money
for pre-production. In our Solution Center we
are testing packages and films under real life
conditions.

Gravure and flexographic printing
Special effects
Wipak offers gravure and flexographic printing at the highest
stage. The Wipak Group therefore continuously invests in
state-of-the-art facilities and expands its capacities. Benefit:
Our customers receive complete one-stop-shopping solutions,
including Pack design and top quality, economical film printing.
Glossy or mat spot painting,
metallised and de-metallised
films, special effects using
super silver or reverse silver,
top-quality silver and mat
varnish look, or printing on
paper – the Wipak Group
implements packages which
stand out for their unmistaken
look and feel.
Special technology:
Combination of gravure and flexographic printing
We combine the benefits of both technologies – the efficiency
of flexographic printing and the brilliancy of gravure printing.
Product samples or special sizes can be flexibly implemented
because the print images of one print image family are created
in such a way to make sure they can be produced using both
gravure printing and flexographic printing.

Printing plates
digital proofs on
original film
Producing printing plates is our profession. The
cylinders required for gravure printing and the
printing plates for flexographic printing are
manufactured directly in our factories. The fully
automatic process with gravure and printing
plate production as well as the storage ensure
flexibility and reproducibility.
What you see is what you get: digital-Proofs
give you a first, but in particular a binding
impression of what your print image will really
look like. A special feature is the fact that we
are printing on the films that are later used in
production. The benefit: The road to the final
print image thus gets a lot faster.
“Printing of thermoforming trays is a very demanding task.
Wipak has gathered a lot of experience in this field and therefore was the only partner who we trusted to implement such
a complex project.”
Karin Wons, Head of Marketing, Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH, Germany
“Thanks to the newly designed packages with mat varnish
and glossy effects we have been able to boost our sales.
This relaunch has opened doors for us in several countries.”
Adrian Nitica, General Manager, Ocean Fish, Rumania
Film printing
Gravure printing, flexographic printing, or a
combination of both technologies? Wipak
covers the complete range and offers all
options. We use state-of-the-art systems to
produce high-quality, efficient print images.
Thanks to short change-over times, even small
batches can be produced.
Web Center
Approvals, version comparisons, colour values, bending
and sealing edges, order histories, print image archive,
and a lot more – via the Web
Center, Wipak customers can
access their print images or
trace the order status at any
time. And: The Web Center is
individually adapted for each
customer.
“The quality of the print image and of the composite material
has exceeded all our expectations.”
