A success story: GADAR S.p.A.

The Company

Founded in 1961 by the Barni brothers, Gadar S.p.A. is a Tuscan box manufacturer that has built its reputation on artisanal quality and a passion for corrugated cardboard. Today, with the third generation already active, Gadar serves diverse sectors such as agri-food, household cleaning, and pharmaceuticals, while maintaining strong family values and attention to detail in every box produced.

The Challenge

With expanding markets and growing demand for quality packaging, Gadar faced new challenges: increasing productivity without compromising the precision and high quality that have always defined the brand, optimising material usage to reduce waste, ensuring consistent printing and die-cutting standards, and meeting the requirements of the agri-food sector, where colour and attention to detail are decisive factors in product sales.

At the same time, Gadar was looking for a reliable and flexible technological solution that could be easily managed by operators and grow alongside the company, ensuring ongoing production continuity and long-term competitiveness.

The Solution

The solution came with the installation of the Royal VB DD rotary die-cutter by Sipack, a Made in Italy machine that combines cutting-edge technology with ease of use.

Thanks to direct drive motors and high-quality components, the Royal VB DD enabled Gadar to achieve precise die-cutting and sharp printing, while reducing material and ink waste.

Fast setup times and an automatic washing system simplified the operators’ work and minimised machine downtime, while the machine’s flexibility and capacity for future upgrades ensured the investment would keep pace with industry innovations.

The Result

Three years after installation:

• Higher print and die-cutting quality, with more vibrant colours and sharper details.
• Reduced material and ink waste.
• Increased productivity, with faster setup times and minimised machine downtime.
• Lower energy consumption and more efficient material management.

Statement

Sipack’s rotary die-cutter has delivered excellent print quality and cutting precision, improving production efficiency and allowing us to enter a strategic market segment.

It has also demonstrated outstanding performance on coated board, ensuring high graphic definition, uniform coverage, and excellent ink adhesion, even on the most complex jobs.
