Overview

pack it! Verpackungen GmbH is an Austrian packaging manufacturer based in Austria and marketed under the brand 'packit!'. The company describes itself as 'Die VerpackungsMacher' (the packaging makers) and positions itself as a full-service partner covering the entire chain from the first idea through printing and processing to the finished packaging, all from a single source. Its core specialism is packaging made from offset-laminated corrugated board in single- and double-wall formats, produced at what it describes as one of the most modern production plants in Europe. The company was founded in 2000 by Karl Ömmer, Walter Freimüller, Stefan Bergmair-Russmann and Paul Schäfer, who brought substantial industry experience to the venture. According to its own account, packit! grew from a spin-off into a highly modern production operation. Its production approach is distinctive: it laminates inline from roll to sheet, producing single- and double-layer corrugated board from the paper roll in a single operation. The printed motif is first produced in the company's own printing centre, Aristos, on a sheet, and then laminated. The firm operates three development offices staffed by experienced experts in development and design. packit! serves brand owners and industrial customers with shelf-ready and transport packaging, food mailers, bag-in-box solutions and other customised packaging. Its project portfolio includes BoxaNova, a smart shelf-ready solution; Cortices, a distinctive cardboard cup; Bag in Box; cycleprint, which makes recycled material visible; a zero-waste packaging concept presented together with claro; the foodmailer® environmentally friendly alternative for food shipping; and packaging for fine wines. Customers referenced in its project stories include SALEWA, for which it helped stop plastic packaging. The company emphasises sustainability and certified quality, modern technology, speed and reliability, and personal customer contact. It is part of a larger group structure it refers to as the 'starke Gruppe' (strong group), and it has been active in industry events and partnerships, including work connected with Henkel. packit! remains a privately held Austrian company.

History

pack it! Verpackungen GmbH was founded in 2000 by Karl Ömmer, Walter Freimüller, Stefan Bergmair-Russmann and Paul Schäfer, who together brought extensive industry experience to the new venture. The company describes its own trajectory as developing 'from a spin-off to a highly modern production operation'. Its brand heritage, however, reaches further back: the official website states that the team has been working 'with passion and joy since 1848', linking the modern company to a long-established printing and packaging tradition. From the outset, packit! focused on offset-laminated corrugated board packaging in single- and double-wall formats. It built one of the most modern production plants in Europe and developed a distinctive inline lamination process that goes from paper roll to sheet in a single operation, producing single- and double-layer corrugated board and laminating it. The printed motif is first produced in the company's own printing centre, Aristos, on a sheet, and then laminated. The firm also invested in development and design, operating three development offices with experienced experts. Over the years packit! expanded its offering beyond standard corrugated packaging into specialised solutions. Its project portfolio includes BoxaNova, a smart shelf-ready solution; Cortices, a unique cardboard cup; Bag in Box; cycleprint, which makes recycled material visible; a zero-waste packaging concept presented together with claro; the foodmailer® environmentally friendly alternative for food shipping; and packaging for fine wines. It also worked with the outdoor brand SALEWA to stop plastic packaging, and developed solutions such as 'twin secure', a special double-wall corrugated material. The company presents itself as part of a 'strong group' and has pursued partnerships and industry engagement, including work connected with Henkel, for which it became an official partner according to its own news feed. It continues to emphasise sustainability, certified quality, modern technology, speed and reliability, and personal customer service. packit! remains a privately held Austrian company.
