Our mission
At Artigrafiche Reggiane & Lai we are committed to being the best and most reliable “Made in Italy” packaging producer. By providing creativity, innovation and partnerships to our customers we are able to deliver an exceptional level of service with fairness and transparency.
Our philosophy
In a market which is becoming increasingly more global and competitive, we understand how important it is to stand out staying true to values in which we firmly believe and practice.
Our philosophy is also our distinction, which is to face every project and challenge with both enthusiasm and understanding. We design and implement solutions which reflect our identity, but are always mindful to flexibility, growth and innovation for the customer.
What also makes us different are our intrinsic values which represent us – reliability, transparency, flexibility and speed.
Our flexibility allows us to take care of every individual detail of a project. We are able to create a product from scratch and deliver it efficiently, exceeding the customer’s needs and requirements.
We believe efficiency is synonymous with competitiveness. Our collaboration with top-level machine manufacturers allows us to be extremely fast and functional, resulting in a swift time to market and reduction in production costs.
However, the truly fundamental philosophy for our company is that which makes us really proud of the work we carry out every day – being able to offer products designed, developed and made entirely in Italy. By believing in our 100% ‘Made in Italy’ business ideal, research and development is combined with elegance and creativity resulting in this competitive edge of excellence.
Made in Italy
Each of our projects is a vital element enhancing the customer’s brand. All products are made with the quality, aesthetics and creativity that only the ‘Made in Italy’ philosophy can guarantee.
FLEXIBILITY
In our sector, flexibility is synonymous with speed. Our ability to personally manage every detail of a project allows us to react with maximum speed to every request.
INNOVATION
We believe that the research, development and application of innovative ideas together with our technology represent the engine of growth, efficiency and competitiveness.
In this way we create value not just for our customers but also for ourselves.

The value of sustainability
By using solutions and processes which are more efficient, ecological and innovative – therefore ‘sustainable’ – our company and customers are able to create value for the wider community. By adopting more ethical behaviour the impact on the environment is reduced. Our company is proud of its prolonged sustainability programme, keeping a close eye on the circular economy, which not only reduces waste and resources, but results in lower energy costs and greater safety at work. Artigrafiche Reggiane & Lai recycle the raw materials whilst the production scraps are returned to the paper mill to be re-used.
Packaging developed with sympathy to the wider environment is now a key element to any product or brand and what they represent, as well as what is actually inside. This means that by relying on sustainable packaging solutions, a company has the added benefit of enhancing the reputation of its brand.

Artigrafiche Reggiane & Lai is the head of a group of four companies based in Italy and central Europe. As a leading producer of paper and cartonboard packaging and displays, the group boasts an annual turnover in excess of 160 million euros.
