Braille was developed in 1825 by the Frenchman Louis Braille and enables blind or severely visually impaired people to read texts with the help of their fingertips. For this purpose, six dots in 3×2 lines are punched into paper or other material - this results in 64 possible combinations with which the entire alphabet as well as numbers and punctuation marks can be depicted [...].

Today is the day we have been working towards for months. The new PackEx portal is live! It is even more intuitive, even faster, and even more transparent. We took the feedback from you, our customers, to heart and developed it into a new ordering platform with a lot of effort, time and work. Our portal is the heart of PackEx. [...]

The world's greatest climate protectors are not people or innovations, they are forests. Why? One of the most important reasons is that forests store large amounts of carbon and thus play an important role in regulating the global climate. When trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere and convert it into [...]

Every year, many companies are faced with the question: What Christmas presents should I surprise customers and employees with? After all, they should be appropriate for the occasion and meet the taste of the recipient. Small gifts from friends, family or even business partners are much more enjoyable than the ones you buy yourself. And who does not know it? Individually and lovingly packaged makes [...]

Instead of expensive and inflexible punching, PackEx uses a powerful and highly precise laser for cutting, creasing and grooving. This process is not only faster and cheaper, but also much more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The use of die-cutting tools is commonplace in folding carton production, but comes with some disadvantages: high [...]

The CoolBudDudes are a young start-up whose mission is to support people and animals in their everyday endeavours. How? Through CBD products, which are said to have a calming, relaxing and pain-relieving effect.PackEx was chosen as the packaging manufacturer.

Globalisation, ever-increasing competitive pressure and changing consumer behaviour are forcing manufacturers to adapt and rethink production processes. It is not uncommon for quick and flexible solutions to have to be found outside the regular supply chain, even in the packaging sector, because unforeseen market developments, short-term marketing campaigns or sample packaging required for product launches are often difficult to [...].

Why decide? Every product can be perfectly packaged. It's not a case of "either... or". Anyone who produces knows that packaging has long been able to do more than just protect the product and make it more practical to transport. From a marketing point of view, it opens up a wide range of possibilities to get noticed, to make the product stand out from the multitude of [...]

When we were nominated - somewhat surprisingly - for the prestigious VisionAward at the beginning of August, it was already a great honour. Since yesterday evening it is clear: PackEx wins the VisionAward_20! The renowned 16-member jury saw our sustainable business model as trend-setting and presented the trophy to our Managing Director Julian Erhard - virtually, because due to Corona, the award ceremony [...]

Founded by two friends and work colleagues Merten Wenderoth, Dominic Tschauder and Torben Füller in 2018, the company offers balanced and healthy ready-made meals through their own online shop.

It is the year 2020 and Germany has just come through the first COVID-19 wave.

Digital transformation has been an important topic for companies for many years. So important, in fact, that many large, long-established corporations have a dedicated department for it, which deals with nothing other than the digitalisation of corporate processes. While e-mail as the main means of communication and the use of the internet can be taken for granted on a large scale today, many companies still have [...]

In its raw form, cacao is considered a so-called superfood and is used in many South American cultures as a stimulant in spiritual ceremonies. The rich ingredients of the unroasted cocoa bean, including magnesium, calcium and copper, increase the release of serotonin and endorphins in the body and have a stimulating effect that promotes feelings of happiness. These special features were learned by the founders of the [...]

The term "app" inevitably brings to mind smartphones, Google Play and Apple's AppStore. Apps (from the English "application") are small, executable programmes that fulfil a more or less useful function, but are not relevant for the respective system. However, our portal is the heart of PackEx - so we have decided to [...]

Who doesn't know it: the family is sitting in the restaurant on a Sunday, waiting for the ordered meal and meanwhile everyone, including the children, is playing on their mobile phones - where is the creativity and communicative exchange?

High-quality packaging must meet a wide range of requirements. At best, product and packaging are perceived as a unit.

If you want to successfully establish your products on the market, you have to think about the right product packaging in advance. It is particularly important to test different packaging designs during the pilot phase to ensure the optimal quality of the final product. Thanks to PackEx GmbH, this works very easily.

With the founding of the subsidiary PackEx GmbH, August Faller GmbH & Co. KG has innovated the ordering process, production and delivery of folding boxes in small batches.

Our PackEx GmbH website has been further developed. In addition to changes in usability and control, one thing in particular is new: direct access to the PackEx B2B app.

PackEx GmbH celebrated its official company opening at the factory premises in Worms on 28 May 2019. Highlights were the production tours, during which the guests gained insights into the PackEx universe.
