We have focused on premium appearance and design to offer a truly interesting alternative to major brands and this has been recognised,” celebrates the CEO and Co-founder Suvi Haimi.

LUXE PACK in Green has become the benchmark event for sustainable packaging innovations and solutions, and several major brands are vigorously searching for more environmentally friendly packaging options.

“In large volumes, our price is competitive with plastics. Sulapac® products can be mass-produced using the same conventional equipment as plastic,” emphasises Suvi Haimi.

Sulapac® has recently entered into a strategic partnership with Berner and Lumene. New partners are also Naviter and Flow Cosmetics. Together with these pioneering cosmetic companies Sulapac® premium eco-packages challenge the traditional plastic packaging and lead the way to a more sustainable and cleaner world.
