Silingardi, avant-garde and excellence in wooden packaging since 1954.
“What you inherit from your father must first be earned before it’s yours”.
(J. W. von Goethe)
Packaging is not just a wrapping; artfully crafted, packaging is a promise, a pact, a messenger. Since 1954 Silingardi has been transforming simple wrappings into ideas that protect, present and enhance contents. The experience of three generations with a single ally, wood, a living material with infinite facets and potential. Time has taught us to grow, to constantly confront contemporaneity in the conviction that memory and progress must always travel hand in hand. State-of-the-art machinery for efficient, precise and reliable production; craftsmanship for that touch of uniqueness and finish that only the skill, knowledge and know-how of the human element can give.
Only those who have truly matured an awareness of the fundamental value of the “outside”, of the shell, succeed in creating packaging that reflects and fully meets expectations.
Packaging is ideal when
– The user with his requirements and needs is the essential starting point for design
– It manages to effectively combine the instrumental and communicative functions
– It is aware of its ‘responsibilities’ of commitment and respect for the environment
– It is drawn up with full respect for the qualities, fragilities and functions of the product
– Guarantees safety both in the transport phase and in the use phase
– It accounts for its traceability and the processes of its production chain
– Does not disappoint the consumer’s right to believe what the packaging says
– Regardless of the knowledge, skills, experience, level of attention and context of the user, it enables simple and intuitive use
– It manages to create an immediate interaction with the user
– By speaking of its content without distortion, it becomes an ideal bearer of direct, immediately comprehensible and unambiguous communication
– Thanks to its easy and immediate readability, it helps communicate useful information about both packaging and content
– It becomes a real vehicle of information on the composition of the product, its origins and even on the most suitable ways of using and preserving it
– Consistently and faithfully reflects the culture of the society to which it belongs
– In tune with the times, it contributes to creating change by participating in the very evolution of contemporaneity
– Forms, graphics and symbols that distinguish it are transformed into messages to transfer models
– Aware of its potential, it becomes an optimal vehicle of communication thanks also to the not secondary prerogative of large-scale distribution
– Anticipating needs and changes, it proposes new consumption models
– It experiments on itself to favour future transformations. It modifies and evolves over time
– With a constant commitment to research and innovation, it never loses sight of tomorrow’s users
We have applied for and obtained ‘Chain of Custody’ certification, thanks to which the raw materials we use follow a traceability path that guarantees the end consumer a product from responsibly managed forests. Responsibly managed forests ensure that a forest is managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. It ensures that forestry activities provide social, environmental and economic benefits, balance competing demands and maintain and enhance forest functions now and in the future.
