What Salvi does

Salvi (legal name Papeles Salvi) is a privately held Spanish distributor of single-use food packaging and related consumables, headquartered in Barberà del Vallès near Barcelona and founded in 1982. The company operates a direct e-commerce storefront at papelessalvi.com through which food service and retail customers across Spain can browse and purchase an assortment of roughly 1,100 SKUs organized into seven primary categories — packaging materials, paper products, bags, containers, tableware, boxes, and cleaning supplies — plus dedicated sub-brands for eco-friendly (compostable and recycled) and delivery/take-away packaging. The catalog is tailored to Spanish and Mediterranean food service formats, including niche items such as paella boxes, churro cones, sushi containers, and jamón packaging.

The underlying technology is a self-serve e-commerce platform with product filtering by sector, material, eco-certification, and delivery type, a custom-packaging configurator that accepts material, color, and design inputs for branded orders, and blog content targeting regulatory topics such as Real Decreto 293/2018. The site supports both consumer and business buyers, with phone and email support during business hours, free shipping to Catalonia, a €75 free-shipping threshold for the rest of Spain, a €30 first-order incentive for orders above €120, and a loyalty program paying €1 per €100 spent.

Salvi's revenue model is primarily transactional unit-based sales of packaging consumables, supplemented by quote-based custom packaging services. Go-to-market is digital-first and direct: organic SEO, blog content marketing, Instagram, and an email newsletter drive traffic to the storefront; there is no third-party reseller or physical retail footprint. Customer concentration is fragmented across twelve vertical segments including bars and restaurants, bakeries, butchers, wineries, greengrocers, prepared-food and delivery operators, retail, and churro shops, with no publicly disclosed enterprise anchors or revenue figures.
