We manufacture rigid packaging and folding boxes specifically designed for the food industry: highly customizable projects in terms of structure, materials, and finishes, suitable for products ranging from everyday staples to premium and gourmet food.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for food packaging?

The minimum order quantity varies depending on the project: from a few hundred to several thousand pieces, depending on design, materials, and complexity.

What are the average timelines for design, prototyping, and production of a food packaging project?

Timelines depend on the type and complexity of the project; on average, we estimate around 4 weeks for design, prototyping, and production kick-off.

What information is required at first contact to prepare an accurate quotation?

For an accurate quotation we require: expected quantity, description of desired materials, design references, budget indication, and desired delivery date.

Do you provide physical samples and/or 3D mockups?

We always provide at least one physical sample before production to verify structure, materials, and finishes. For very complex projects, we may initially provide a couple of 3D proposals.

How much does it cost and how long does it take to produce a sample?

If an order is confirmed, the production of at least one sample is included in the price. Timelines vary depending on the type and complexity of the requested sample.

Do you produce pre-series before full production?

Yes, we produce pre-series to validate production before the full run. For special products, we also carry out a complete industrialization analysis.

Do you have an in-house R&D department, or do you collaborate with external designers/agencies?

Yes, we have an in-house R&D team of professionals focused on researching innovative materials and processes, with numerous patented solutions.

Can you provide certified materials (FSC, recycled, compostable)?

FSC® or PEFC-certified products are available upon request, as well as recycled materials and compostable inks.

Do you hold hygiene and food safety management certifications?

Yes, our production processes comply with the strictest hygiene and food safety management standards, and our facility holds ISO 22000 and HACCP certifications.

We offer a range of finishes suited to food packaging, including eco-friendly and water-based varnishes, embossing, and premium laminations, always compliant with food-contact regulations.

Can you design packaging suitable for cold chain, refrigerated, or frozen products?

We can develop packaging solutions designed to withstand the specific conditions of cold chain distribution, refrigerated or frozen products, evaluating materials and structures case by case.

Yes. We design structurally engineered packaging for premium food delivery, ensuring the product’s integrity and presentation are preserved throughout transport, without compromising on the perceived quality of the packaging.

What is your quality control process and what tests do you apply?

Our in-house quality department oversees every production stage and can perform rigorous tests to ensure maximum quality: from spectrophotometer checks to transport and drop tests, sun test, light cabins, climate chambers, abrasion tests, adhesive resistance checks, up to scan checks and QR code readability.

What files and technical specifications do you require to start?

We require PDF or vector files, any color proofs, color references such as Pantone, and specifications for the materials to be used.

Do you support color management and Pantone matching in printing?

Yes. Our in-house colour mixing machine allows us to produce Pantone colors internally and ensure their consistency and reliability. Using spectrophotometers, we guarantee a ΔE of +/-1.5 during the print run. Our in-house colour mixing machine also reduces raw material handling and waste, lowering CO₂ emissions.

Innovative packaging solutions for the food industry

When it comes to food packaging, nothing can be left to chance. Compliance with international standards, preservation of freshness throughout the supply chain, and a design that stops the consumer in an instant: these are not separate goals, they’re the same challenge. It’s a challenge we’ve always embraced, calibrating our skills and production methods to meet it at every stage, across a wide range of sectors, from artisan pastry to gourmet food, from delivery to retail.

Every category has its own promise to keep. A panettone box has to protect a fragile, high-value product while building the same anticipation as the gift inside. A bottle of extra virgin olive oil needs packaging that signals authenticity and origin at a glance, on a shelf where every brand claims the same quality. Premium food delivery – sushi included – demands structural precision, so the box performs as well as the product travelling inside it, without sacrificing the sense of luxury. And in categories like tea and infusions, sustainability is no longer a plus: it’s often the reason a brand is chosen over another, which is why we design mono-material, fully recyclable solutions without compromising on design or shelf presence.

POZZOLI sets the benchmark for food packaging that works as hard as the product it holds, whatever the category. This is where our creative team’s imagination meets technical mastery refined over generations. When advanced production capabilities meet this creative-technical synergy, the result is packaging that satisfies every sense – tactile, visual, functional – and turns a simple purchase into a moment of trust.
