Scatolificio Giani

What Scatolificio Giani does

Scatolificio Giani s.r.l. is a privately held Italian manufacturer of rigid cardboard boxes (scatole in cartone teso — wrapped cardboard), founded in 1974 by brothers Verano and Quinto Giani and now operated by the third generation of the founding family. The company is headquartered in Fucecchio, in the Tuscan Comprensorio del Cuoio (Leather District), and produces custom rigid boxes primarily for luxury and artisan footwear, leather goods, fashion accessories, perfumery, and select food/beverage brands across Italy and internationally.

Its core technology combines rigid cardboard construction with custom paper covering: cardboard is sewn using recycled thermosoldering paper tape, then wrapped with printed and personalized paper via a proprietary roller machine that glues the paper to the cardboard structure. The portfolio spans 15+ box typologies (two-piece, three-piece, four-piece, drawer, collapsible, PVC-lid, 90-degree corner, flat-pack, and others) complemented by finishing techniques including hot stamping, debossing, embossing, silk-screen varnish, and custom interior compartments. A separate Ecofriendly Packaging line offers 100% recycled, FSC-certified variants, and production is powered by an on-site photovoltaic system with closed-loop paper waste recycling.

The business model is direct B2B, project-based, and custom: enterprise brand customers initiate engagement via website contact form or phone, the company provides design consultation and prototype development, and pricing is quote-based per project with multi-year contractual cadence. No intermediary or reseller channels are used. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSC Chain of Custody certifications, has active English/Italian web presence and social channels, and participated in Packaging Premiere di Milano in May 2023. Revenue is not disclosed; employee count is reported in the 11–50 range.
