Pujolasos wood&pack and Decopak Europ have patented the world’s first metalized wooden cap, called Luxury Wood. The companies, both based in the province of Barcelona, Spain, developed the product and patent together.
Luxury Wood has been created by Pujolasos and Decopak Europ R&D departments with the aim of developing a technique able to lend a sophisticated touch to wood while preserving all of wood’s characteristics as a noble material with a close bond to nature. The elegant, distinguishing hue is achieved using a metallized varnish and comes in a wide range of colors and tones. The product can also have a matte or shiny finish, with metallic features added, as well as graded colors and personalized decoration. To guarantee the resistance of all the finishes, they have undergone the most rigorous quality control tests.
The presentation of this new product is the result of research carried out by Pujolasos wood&pack in recent years and Decopak Europ’s continued investment in R&D. Each company has its own R&D department to design and develop innovative products. The aim of these departments is to undertake ongoing research to develop new designs, to improve production processes, and to improve quality standards offered to customers.
"Wood is Pujolasos’ raison d’être, because due to its unique features, we achieve an elegant and exclusive product, which is also sustainable,” states Àngel Pujolasos, CEO of the company. All the wood the company works with is certified with the PEFC seal, an international seal promoting the sustainable overall management of forests—from forest managers to the companies that transform forest products to the end customer. Through the PEFC certificate, customers receive a guarantee they are buying sustainably managed forest products, and that they are also helping to combat illegal logging.
Decopak Europ is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with the slogan “Decoration is our lifestyle.” Constant innovation and ongoing research, both at industrial and product image level, enable the company to be a leader and a pioneer in the decoration of any kind of surface, giving personality and character to packaging and products.
