Every company that grows constantly almost always owes this to the steady steps and insightful thinking of its founder. With 30 years of success, Cartabianca has established itself as a leader in the packaging sector in the Greek market.

 

Establishment & development

The company was established in 1992 by Christos Papandreou in Thessaloniki. At that time, the main activity of the company was focused on the clothing sector and especially on the trade of accessories. Gradually, with the changing or increased customer needs, new requirements were created in the field of packaging. In the years 1992-2000, the company represented Mainetti SPA, the world's largest fashion packaging behemoth, and became the leader in apparel packaging in the Greek market.

In 2004 Cartabianca is modernized, develops new products (e.g. bags, boxes, stickers, touch paper), and from the clothing sector dynamically penetrates almost all market sectors (technology products, culture and communication, beauty products, sports items, etc.). In the years 2007-2017, the company invests in mechanical equipment and until today it is the most modern vertically integrated company, while in the period 2015-2021, it enters into partnerships with almost all major brands in the Greek and European market and becomes the leader in the retail packaging sector.

In 2021, the company will be further modernized in line with market requirements, introducing a functional and user-friendly e-shop on its website, in order to meet, facilitate and serve the needs of customers in Greece and Europe.

 

Cartabianca today – a company that makes innovation a priority

Cartabianca is today an innovative company with its own vertically integrated system of production that controls the production process at all stages.

In order to ensure that the high customer demands and the self-imposed quality standards are reliably and consistently met, Cartabianca constantly invests in new, state-of-the-art machinery and, of course, in research as a driving force for inspiration and innovation.

The company's success depends on its employees, who invest in know-how, experience and expertise to provide excellent services to all partners.

 

Cartabianca & e-commerce: a new era

The success of Cartabianca is due to the strategic perspective of the company. This allows constant evolution, adaptation to new requirements and, of course, innovation.

The rapid growth of e-commerce, especially in the last two years, required quick action, immediate adaptation, as well as urgent and feasible ideas. In line with this logic, Cartabianca began manufacturing packaging products exclusively for e-shops, such as the paper courier bag envelope.

In the era of e-commerce, packaging goes beyond the requirements of simple packing and ease of use. Aesthetics, color palette, design and quality of materials - all those features that highlight the uniqueness and excellence of a brand in the e-commerce era - now play a key role. Moreover, through the company's dynamic e-shop, Cartabianca's customers can easily manage their order, get advice from expert staff and even participate in the design process to achieve an impressive result.

The aim is to promote sustainable forest management around the world and guarantee that all certified products come from well-managed FSC™ -certified forests, recycled materials, and other controlled sources.

Cartabianca's vision is to remain the first choice for customers, to continuously expand its customer base in Greece and abroad, and to offer the most modern and innovative services, while maintaining a high level of expertise and product quality.
