What Sefko does

Sefko is a Polish manufacturer of prefabricated flexible packaging, established in 1999 as a family-owned business in Jasionka, Poland. Its core product range centers on stand-up pouches and pre-made bags — doypacks, flat bottom bags, stabilo (SQ4) bags, and flat bags — complemented by PE, PP, and co-extruded films, laminated films, shrink and skin films, breathable (perforated) films, vacuum bags, flow packs, cold-seal packaging, spouted pouches, advertising bags, textile bags, twist wrappers, and specialty peat bags. Production is anchored by in-house capabilities spanning multi-layer film extrusion (up to 7 layers, 220 microns, 5400 mm width), HD flexographic printing (up to 10 colours, 1300 mm width) and rotogravure printing (up to 9 colours), multi-material lamination (duplex, triplex, quadroplex from PET, PE, PP, ALU, paper, OPA, OPP and variants), and welding of doypacks and related formats from 50 g to 20 kg. BRCGS certification for packaging materials and EU food contact compliance underpin sales into food, pet food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, horticulture, textile, and chemical verticals. SEFKO EKO TRIPLEX, an in-house-developed monomaterial laminate containing at least 40% recyclates, positions the company in sustainable heavy-duty food packaging (5–10 kg+).

Sefko operates a direct B2B sales motion with dedicated domestic and international sales managers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company sells across multiple industrial verticals without a single dominant segment, and only one named customer — specialty coffee roaster Coffee & Sons — appears in public materials, in connection with an Art of Packaging Awards 2025 nomination. In November 2024, Sefko was acquired by Estonian flexible packaging producer Estiko Packaging Solutions and now operates as part of Estiko Group, a family-owned platform with €45M+ group turnover, 210+ employees, and 105+ years of industry experience, expanding Sefko's distribution and production reach across Central and Eastern Europe. Sefko retains its Polish production base and brand identity under the parent.
