THE DEAL IS PERFECT. THE LUXURY BOXES, TOO.

The first Europrogetti EP 240 goes to Germany - thanks to Lange GmbH.

On the basis of the sound advice of Carl Ingolf Lange, the distribution partner for Europrogetti in the German-language area, select boxes are folded even more flexibly and with even shorter set-up times in the packaging factory of Pfäffle: by means of the brand-new EP 240. Pfäffle GmbH produces packagings in the South German town of Lorch, but not just any. Hans Pfäffle deliberately calls his enterprise a manufacture, for his luxury boxes pack fine chocolates, give high-quality perfumes a unique appearance and protect jewellery as well as fine wines. "Even before the customer holds the product in his or her hands, a high-grade packaging creates a feeling of quality", Pfäffle emphasizes. For this packaging, a bottom material is die-cut, set upright, glued together and wrapped outside. Often, luxury boxes are laminated with paper inside, too. There are almost no limits for form, design and size. Individuality for wrapping material, too; apart from fabric also fine and structured paper printed in any manner. The result is a packaging that often has a second career as storage box following its actual function.

For a short time, a packaging machine of the Italian manufacturer of Europrogetti has been whirring in the factory building of Pfäffle. The EP 240, a new development, makes it possible for Pfäffle to respond to short-term customer requests even more flexibly and - as the machine can be adjusted digitally - with even shorter set-up times.



Lange GmbH - Europrogetti's distribution partner for the German-language area.

Sale and handling are effected through Carl Ingolf Lange - the distribution partner of Europrogetti for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Lange convinced Pfäffle that the investment in the high six-figure range was well-invested money. Lange GmbH, with seat in the South German town of Ludwigsburg, has solely specialized in machines for producing boxes and distributes - increasingly through its Internet portal of www.lange.de - 95 % pre-owned machines, from almost new to vintage machines. But new machines as well. "Give me a drawing of a box or a sample, and I tell you which machine you need!" - Lange plays his trumps with his vast expertise; after all, he and his staff have intensively and exclusively been involved in such machines for more than a quarter of a century.

The customers profit from that in any case, for the trade with machines of any type and for any task on every aspect of producing boxes guarantees them largest possible independence in advice.



The Europrogetti EP 240 was developed to make more flexible.

In Sinalunga in Italy, the company of Europrogetti has specialized in a machine type that was originally developed for producing shoeboxes. Meanwhile, however, Europrogetti develops and produces numerically controlled heavy-duty machines for the automatic manufacture of wrapped boxes. Lange, of course, who knows the market like few others, has known about the new development from the company of Europrogetti. So, in 2008, the first machine of this type, serial number 1 as it were, was installed at Pfäffle. Here, the EP 240 shows convincing qualities off the beaten track: it can be used for boxes of any size between at least 6.5 x 2.5 x 1.2 cm and 60 x 40 x 24 cm at most, from mini boxes, e.g. for CDs, up to large sized slipcases for books, from three-sided boxes and ones with diagonal edges up to boxes of various geometric forms (e.g. trapezium). The machine is able to process cardboard thicknesses between 0.7 and 3 mm, and everything with an inner wrap of up to 50 mm. With this flexibility, Pfäffle can calmly await even more off-beat ideas of its cardboard box designers.
