Italian packaging specialist Grafica Atestina has significantly enhanced its pharmaceutical packaging production capabilities with the latest investment in BOBST technology.
The company, known for producing straight-line boxes, crash-lock bottom boxes, cases, and instructional leaflets, has seen a 35% increase in productivity thanks to the addition of a BOBST NOVACUT 106 die-cutter, BOBST EXPERTFOLD 110 folder-gluer, and BOBST VISIONFOLD 50 folder-gluer with HANDYPACK.
“We have been working with BOBST equipment for approximately a decade, and their technology has certainly contributed to our growth,” said Barbara De Poli, marketing head at Grafica Atestina.
“The reliability of BOBST machinery, along with its precision and productivity, are key aspects of our partnership. As a result, when it came time to add further capabilities to our folding carton production, we already knew that BOBST could provide the performance we needed.”
BOBST said its BOBST VISIONFOLD 50 folder-gluer has been a game-changer for Grafica Atestina.
Its advanced automation, ease of use, and robust performance have enabled the company to produce packaging with exceptional uniformity and speed.

The company also claimed its HANDYPACK packer has contributed to increased efficiency by streamlining the packing process and reducing manual labour.
As a result of this investment, Grafica Atestina has not only increased its production capacity but has claimed to have also attracted new customers requiring nonstandard glueing solutions.
The company has experienced a 30% uplift in sales while benefiting from reduced production times, minimised waste, and increased machine reliability.
“With our machines, we can die-cut and fold and glue even complex boxes in one single pass, which allows us to produce packaging for our customers in half the time. This efficiency means our costs have decreased, and consequently, our selling price has become more competitive,” added De Poli.
“BOBST technology has revolutionised what we can achieve for our cosmetics and pharma customers and the diversity of needs we can meet and supports our journey towards effortless zero-fault packaging.”
Grafica Atestina’s investment in BOBST technology demonstrates its commitment to delivering high-quality, efficient packaging solutions to the pharmaceutical industry.
By leveraging the latest advancements in automation and precision, the company is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its customers and maintain its leadership in the market.
