Preston Packaging, Poland.

Based in Dąbrowa near Poznań, Poland, Preston Packaging specializes in solid board packages, information leaflets and product manuals for the pharmaceutical sector, the cosmetics industry, and producers of dietary supplements.

The story of Preston Packaging

Brothers Filip, Jacek, and Stanisław Karoński founded what later became Preston Packaging in 1999. Initially, the company specialized in the organization of events and advertising. "The beginnings were modest. The first equipment we bought was a folding machine; then came a one-color B3 offset printing press. The construction of the company’s headquarters in 2013 and our investment in a Speedmaster CD 74-5 + L-F and a Speedmaster SM 74-2-P-H were a big step," says Stanisław Karoński, vice-president at Preston Packaging.

Today, thanks to relentless discipline, consistency in operation, and a strong strategic focus and positioning, Preston Packaging boasts a modern plant, a qualified crew, and a loyal customer-base both domestic and foreign.

We are happy to have acquired another Heidelberg press. We trust this brand. We hope that this new, technologically more advanced press will give a boost to our company’s development. We want to be faster, offer even better quality and expand the company's offering with new products,” emphasizes Stanisław Karoński.
