Sacchital Group has become the first company worldwide to install SCREEN’s Truepress PAC 520P, embracing digital inkjet printing for toward sustainable, paper-based flexible packaging.

Milan, Italy — In a bold move towards reshaping the future of sustainable packaging, Sacchital Group, a leading Italian flexible packaging converter, has become the first company globally to install SCREEN’s Truepress PAC 520P – their revolutionary digital inkjet digital press engineered for paper-based flexible packaging using water-based inks compliant with the strictest European safety standards.

Supported by SCREEN’s trusted distributor for digital label and packaging printing solutions in Italy, REM srl, this strategic installation marks a major milestone in the development of paper as a viable, high-quality, and environmentally responsible alternative to plastic in flexible packaging. This demand is driven not only by rising consumer demand for recyclable, low-environmental impact materials, but further accelerated by the EU’s upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) legislation, mandating greater circularity and recyclability across the packaging sector. 

Sacchital’s Long History of Forward-Thinking Innovation

Founded in 1945, Sacchital has consistently led the industry with its commitment to innovation, top-quality, and environmental responsibility. The company’s extensive paper packaging portfolio spans the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors, with deep expertise in delivering high-barrier, tailor-made packaging solutions. With a firm belief that “competitive sustainability and performance must go hand in hand,” said Alberto Palaveri, Executive Member of the Board at Sacchital, CEO at Åkerlund & Rausing (part of Sacchital Group), as well as current President of Giflex. He explained how they have been actively investing in sustainable materials and processes, and now, digital print technologies that further support circularity initiatives. 

In a rapidly evolving market where brands are urgently seeking sustainable packaging solutions, Sacchital identified an opportunity to become early innovators while expanding their product portfolio and printing capabilities—recyclable paper-based formats. While flexo and gravure remain essential for long production runs, the company needed a smart, agile, and low-impact technology to complete to meet growing demand. 

With the Truepress PAC 520P, Sacchital now has a highly flexible and cost-efficient digital printing technology—enabling faster time-to-market and greater reactivity to customer demands with final orders ready to ship within 48 hours, and a future-ready platform to confidently navigate upcoming regulatory changes in the flexible packaging sector. 

“Innovation is in our DNA,” said Palaveri. “As the market shifts toward sustainability, we wanted to be at the forefront—not reactive, but actively shaping the transition. The SCREEN Truepress PAC 520P allows us to offer something radically new to our customers: a digital solution for paper packaging that is flexible, competitive, and truly eco-conscious.” 

Expanding Proven Inkjet Technology to Flexible Packaging

“With thousands of inkjet printing devices already installed globally across the Commercial Printing and Label printing sectors, this first Truepress PAC 520P installation marks a pivotal entry for SCREEN into a new segment with flexible paper packaging,” says Yukiyoshi Tanaka, President of SCREEN Graphic Solutions Co., Ltd. “This installation with Sacchital signals a major step forward for our company’s mission to drive sustainable innovation in the packaging industry.”

The Truepress PAC 520P uses water-based inks and is designed to digitally print onto the new generation of heat-sealable, recyclable paper-based packaging, enabling a short time-to-market and supporting brands’ transition toward circular, low-impact packaging solutions.

This press is also compact, easily installed, and seamlessly integrates into existing production workflows, enabling converters to transition to digital printing for paper packaging without the complexities of heavy investments into new infrastructure.

As individual job length continue to shorten and SKU counts explode, the ability to print on demand what’s needed, when it’s needed, represents a huge strategic advantage to increase sustainability while reducing overproduction waste.

With this new digital printing solution, Sacchital can now print short run, fully finished reels of packaging with high design variability—perfect for market testing, seasonal promotions, or SKU proliferation.

SCREEN & Sacchital: An Innovative Future Together

Both companies are united by a commitment to excellence, technical leadership, and sustainability. As this partnership evolves, Sacchital and SCREEN will collaborate closely to explore new applications, support customers in the transition to paper, and demonstrate how digital printing can future-proof packaging portfolios. 

“We are delighted to partner with Sacchital, whose reputation for quality and innovation makes them the ideal pioneer for this technology,” said Yukiyoshi Tanaka. “This collaboration demonstrates how digital inkjet can remove entry barriers when entering paper packaging—simplifying production, reducing waste, and enabling converters to serve new markets confidently.” 

Alberto Palaveri was just as optimistic about this new partnership, remarking, “True change requires bold steps. With SCREEN, we’re not just installing a new press—we’re co-creating the future of sustainable packaging.”
