What Micropack does

Micropack — Packing & Image, S.A. is a privately held Portuguese packaging manufacturer founded in 1987, specializing in offset lithographed packaging. The company operates from a single production facility in Santa Maria de Lamas, Aveiro, Portugal, and employs 11–50 people. It maintains integrated ISO 9001:2015 (quality) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental) certifications, and is incorporated as a Sociedade Anónima under Portuguese law. In 2020, the company was acquired by a new investor who committed to revitalization and reinvestment.

Micropack's product portfolio spans five primary verticals: Drinks/Beverages, E-commerce, Coffees, Ceramics, and Others. Manufacturing capabilities are fully vertically integrated and run in-house: structural design (Plotter + Impact Software), pre-press (Fujifilm CTP acquired 2020), offset printing (ManRoland 900 six-color press with in-line varnish and Pantone matching, acquired 2008), laminating (2004), die cutting and creasing (BOBST machines, 2002 and 2015), automatic folding (BOBST Visionfold, 2014), and automatic packaging/shipping (Impack line, 2018). Materials processed include cardstocks, Mini Micro Flute F, Micro Flute E, Flute B, and double-layer board combinations.

The business model is project-based B2B sales of lithographed packaging to brand owners and manufacturers in Iberia-adjacent verticals. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via the company website budget inquiry form, phone (+351 227 472 140), and email ([email protected] / [email protected]). No self-serve, marketplace, or distributor channels are present. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is transactional and driven by custom project orders. Marketing presence is limited to organic social on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, with no content marketing or paid demand generation detected.
