About us / Background

It all began in the distant 1970s, through the hands of the founder and current CEO, José Pinto, professor and passionate about graphic arts, in a small atelier dedicated to the printing of commercial graphic works.

Over the years, with great determination and commitment, the company has enlarged and updated the machinery park, invested in technology, automated production lines and specialized human resources, making Greca a market reference in the commercial printing sector.

During its long journey, the company was able to grow sustainably through strategic investments and with a future vision. The recognized success of the first generation of this family business inspired the entrepreneurship of the second generation and was an invitation to a challenging bet on new markets and products.

About us / background

“The details are not the details. They make the product.”

– Charles and Ray Eames

In 2016, with all the know-how and experience acquired along its path, the company took an important step by diversifying its business and creating from scratch a productive, modern and technological unit dedicated to the production of lined cardboard boxes.

Under the brand created for this purpose, “Luxury package by Greca”, the company develops and produces customized package for the most varied markets, with a special focus on the wine and chocolate segment.

The package business is ruled by the same guiding principles of the company’s global activity: quality, innovation, service and competitiveness.

HOW YOUR
PACKAGE IS MADE

We know that the package is a great sale argument, and that often the consumer understand the values of a brand through package. A well-made package translates into sales. So, this is our purpose, to manufacture high quality products with accuracy and focus on details, to raise the potential of our customers’ products at points of sale.

Thus, our production system was designed to follow the current trends.

This is where it all begins!
The process of designing is essential for the consistent development of projects. A full-scale model allows a more clearly visualization of the appearance of the final product and, also in a preliminary phase, to adapt, test, review and improve the project.

Design

We adopted the Right Angle milling system to the detriment of the half-cutting system. This technique allows us to obtain boxes with stylized lines consistent with the current trend, granting the package a superior quality aspect.

Production System With Right Angle

Using the latest technology, we have adopted the milling system for the application of magnets automatically to the detriment of using the hole. This technique allows the application of magnets without being visible on the outside of the box.

Magnets without marks

Capable of meeting needs related to traceability and security control, we provide our customers with several tools for this control, namely batch numbering, continuous numbering, holograms, barcode, invisible ink and control code.

Traceability and Security

All our products are customized, therefore the production lines are not static, adapting to the needs of each package and product typology. Adaptations may include the packaging of the products for which the package is intended. We offer our client a full service, allowing him to save time, money and adopt more effective environmental policies.

FULL SERVICE

We offer a process fully flexible and adaptable to customer needs. We offer various types of logistics services, from individual and retractable packaging, individual protections, packaging in transport boxes, palletized and labeled with the necessary information required by the customer.
