Production site
Our factory is located in the Eastern part of the EU, where the outskirts of the Balkan mountains meet the Black Sea, 40 minutes away from Varna (Bulgaria’s 3rd largest city).
A 1300 sq.m company-owned building, built to the highest energy standards provides a place for production, packing, storage and rest.
While we are best equipped for small and medium runs, we can also deliver larger orders subject to longer lead times.
Under one roof
Even for a single pre-production sample, you will receive the same standard of quality and craftsmanship as if manufactured in mass production.
Tailored manufacturing processes for custom-designed packaging and stationery
Being a luxury packaging manufacturer for decades, we value innovation, but we also deeply respect the human skills acquired and developed through traditional technologies.
Prototyping is key
Short production cycles
Quality control by humans
