Polidano Press: Streamlining Packaging Design & Production with Zip Core Packaging Suite and VeloBlade Nexus Integration
Polidano Press was established in 1988 and positioned its main facility in Luqa Malta in 2000, where all services are now centralized to ensure quality control and operational efficiency. The company offers a wide range of printing and packaging services, including:
- Offset and digital printing
- Large format printing
- Packaging solutions
- Custom labels and stickers
- Finishing services such as lamination, binding, and die-cutting
Polidano Press aims to provide tailored, high-quality print solutions that meet the needs of both small businesses and large-scale enterprises.
Polidano Press chose to implement the Zip Core Packaging Suite primarily for its user-friendly and intuitive interface. The software integrates seamlessly with tools the company already relies on, such as Adobe Illustrator, making the transition smooth and enabling the team to begin working efficiently right away.
What truly set Zip Core apart for Polidano Press was its extensive library of ready-made templates, packaging presets, and powerful 3D rendering capabilities. “Tasks that once took days—such as creating accurate mockups or dielines—can now be completed in minutes. This has significantly improved turnaround times and enhanced the company’s ability to deliver polished, professional concepts to clients with greater speed and efficiency.” – Tristan Galea
"As the designer using the software daily, I can confidently say that Zip Core Packaging Suite has been a game-changer in our packaging workflow. It’s intuitive, reliable, and packed with powerful features—especially the 3D rendering tools and extensive template library—which allow me to go from concept to presentation in a fraction of the time it used to take. The support from the Vivid team has been outstanding—most problems are resolved within minutes or just a few hours, which keeps everything running smoothly and minimises downtime. By eliminating the need to rely on external companies for packaging development, we’ve reduced costs, sped up our entire process, and gained greater control with a much more efficient workflow."
In addition to the advantages brought by the Zip Core Packaging Suite, Polidano Press continues to benefit significantly from the implementation of the VeloBlade Nexus system including Veloton and Velotaper. The decision to bring cutting and finishing capabilities in-house was driven by the need to reduce reliance on external providers, who often struggled to meet tight deadlines.
“Out of all the options we considered, the VeloBlade stood out for its strong customer support and versatility. It offered exactly what we were looking for—a reliable, efficient system backed by a team that clearly understands the needs of businesses like ours.”
By integrating the VeloBlade, Polidano Press has gained greater control over production timelines, improved responsiveness to urgent client needs, and enhanced overall workflow efficiency. “The system's reliability, versatility, and the exceptional customer support provided by Vivid made it the ideal solution for the company’s evolving production demands.” – Tristan Galea
Together, Zip Core and VeloBlade have empowered Polidano Press to deliver high-quality, fully customised packaging solutions with greater speed, flexibility, and consistency.
