Eco&Food paper solutions

A sustainable revolution to contain, cook, transport and communicate food

Lic Packaging has a deep understanding of paper materials. Since 1952, when the company was founded by Giovanni Bertoldo as a small printing shop, it has gained extensive experience in printing and transforming paper.

Continuous innovation, for over sixty years, has led the company to operate across various sectors, with a particular focus on the food industry.

In fact, it is in the food sector that Lic Packaging invests and generates profit: with a turnover of €96 million in 2018, it is a company that can offer everything from primary packaging to point-of-sale displays, thanks to its fully integrated in-house know-how.Inizio modulo

Paper is our passion

Paper is our passion. Since 1991, we have had a corrugator that allows us to create board sheets with specific papers and flutes to meet the technical needs of our customers. We were the first in Italy and Europe to experiment with paper, and we are still among the most prepared companies today.

It is precisely from experience and the ability to industrialize that Lic has created the Eco&Food business line, dedicated to food contact packaging.
There are many paper solutions aimed at both companies, brands, as well as contract manufacturers and packaging distributors.

Paper will become the only material to completely replace polymers, such as plastic, still used in the food industry.

Pure Virgin Fiber for Hygiene and Safety

The Eco&Food line comes from an ambitious idea. It was born from the desire to contain food in direct contact with pure virgin paper, ensuring absolute naturalness, hygiene, and safety for food, and thus providing truly sustainable packaging for the environment.

How did we achieve this?
Five years of technical and technological interventions led us to develop new materials, mixing different types of paper and low-thickness corrugations. These new materials, 100% paper and plastic-free, have performance characteristics that surpass those of plastic-coated rigid board. They work perfectly for the food industry across all sectors, from ready meals to meat, from baked goods, sweet or savory, to street food.

For these sectors, we have developed countless solutions, such as thermoformed trays, glued boxes, and bottom structures with various sealing options, such as flopack or stretch.

All structures and designs are tailored to the client’s needs and production line. They are decorated with high-quality prints using food-safe inks and are fully recyclable in the paper and organic waste streams.

The crown jewel of Eco&Food is HT Board, a revolutionary material by nature.
Thanks to this innovative material, available in five different compositions, we can create high-performing structures for all situations: from the cold chain to industrial ovens, from fridges in large retail stores to household microwaves.

HT Board boasts numerous certifications: FSC, compostability, food suitability are just a few of the certifications and tests performed on this material.

Our company’s goal is to provide consumers with truly sustainable and high-performing packaging that also aids in home cooking: cooking in paper is healthy and tasty, and it will be the future of the food industry.
