The packaging manufacturing process is accompanied by the company's specialists at every stage: an experienced R&D team, together with the design studio and engineering and technical service, are ready to develop and implement individual solutions based on customer requirements for the packaging format, design adaptation, selection of the optimal laminate structure and recommendations on the material usage parameters.
The company works taking into account the principles of sustainable development, which is embodied in the development and implementation of ecological packaging solutions, as well as in the organization of the production process. To achieve environmental sustainability of the production process, the company launched a solvent recovery plant, which allows reducing emissions into the atmosphere by 99% and reuses recovered raw materials in its production, providing 100% of its needs.
The quality of packaging is the main priority of Gualapak Ukraine, therefore, automated production and control systems are used in the analysis and verification of manufactured products, which includes 100% control of printing for adhesive components, analysis of packaging for tightness, control of geometric parameters on an optical-measuring calculation complex, etc.
Gualapak Ukraine is certified according to the ISO and BRC systems, and the products comply with EU directives and FDA regulations on packaging safety.
Gualapak Ukraine flexible packaging has several significant advantages over other types of packaging, namely:
- Compactness and optimal product-packaging ratio and, as a result, logistical efficiency and reduction of the carbon footprint throughout the entire production chain from the supply of raw materials to the sale of the finished product.
- Reliability: protection of the product from water vapor, oxygen, light, which allows you to safely store the product inside and guarantees the preservation of the product inside during the entire shelf life of the product.
- Marketing effectiveness: the possibility of manufacturing packaging of various formats with the application of high-quality rotogravure printing and detailing of the thinnest elements with full or partial application of matte varnish.
- Eco-friendly solutions. Our priority is to create a closed-loop economy and achieve circularity through collection and sorting systems. That is why Gualapak Ukraine develops and provides ecological packaging made of monomaterial for the possibility of further processing of the packaging in the flow. Innovative solutions are presented both in the direction of roll materials and in the direction of the "package with a fitting and a lid" set, which corresponds to global trends in the field of food packaging and EU legislation.
Many years of work improvement in combination with modern production facilities allow the company to timely monitor market trends, develop and implement innovative solutions in combination with a high level of service.
