Packaging customers often need a coordinated mix of structural packaging, print production, inserts, prepress services, technical documentation and finishing. The acquisition strengthens Netpak’s ability to support a broader set of print and packaging needs under one organization.

This is especially relevant in food, pharmaceutical and beauty markets, where printed components must support brand presentation, product information, compliance needs, traceability expectations and production timing.

  • 1Broader printing and packaging support under one group.
  • 2Expanded capabilities for pharma and beauty customers.
  • 3Additional support for inserts, literature and printed materials.
  • 4More specialized print knowledge within Netpak’s organization.
  • 5Stronger alignment between quality, service and production needs.

Packaging programs often depend on more than the outer carton
