The recent acquisition of Bartoli Packaging, a leading player in the luxury packaging sector and particularly in the fashion world, is an important step in this direction.
Bartoli Packaging’s heritage
Bartoli Packaging was founded more than 70 years ago in Tuscany, in the Monsummano Terme district, as a small artisan company. Thanks to excellent production techniques, innovative solutions, valuable traditional know-how, creativity and a strong focus on sustainability issues, the company has become an excellence in the luxury goods market and a strategic partner of the most important international fashion houses
The rigid fold-down box revolution
Bartoli Packaging has developed a unique, state-of-the-art technology in Europe for the production of rigid collapsible boxes. While most global production is done manually in Asia, Bartoli is the only company in Europe with automated machinery for making these boxes. The automated process not only ensures superior quality, but also allows for faster production times, greater efficiency and less transportation.
The design of the rigid fold-down boxes
A collapsible rigid box has a solid base, made of paper and cardboard, designed to maintain shape and strength when assembled, with folds that can be side or bottom. The outer layer, on the other hand, is made of fine paper suitable to accommodate any type of finish. Finally, collapsible boxes can be enhanced with additional details such as fine cardboard closures, satin ribbons, cotton, magnetic and other materials, making them even more pleasing and valuable in the eyes of the end customer, adding a precious touch to the shopping experience and ensuring the security of the product inside.
Advantages of rigid collapsible boxes
Fold-down rigid boxes offer numerous advantages that make them an ideal choice for luxury packaging.
- Logistics and transportation: collapsible boxes can be easily flattened, reducing storage space and transportation costs, significantly lowering logistics costs. This is especially beneficial for manufacturers and retailers who need to handle large amounts of packaging.
- Superior protection: these boxes offer excellent protection for luxury products, minimizing the risk of damage during transport.
- Production efficiency: automatic machines ensure consistent accuracy in folding and assembling boxes. This results in high-quality boxes without defects or imperfections, but also in faster deliveries.
- Customization: collapsible rigid box technology allows greater flexibility in design. Custom-made boxes with unique shapes and sizes can be created to meet customers’ specific needs.
