In June 2023, high-end packaging manufacturer Procos celebrates 25 years of creativity and innovation serving premium and luxury brands.
Founded in 1998 in Germany (Munich) by Leander Kritikos, Procos (for "Pro-Cosmetic") has had, from the outset, the ambition of creating beautiful packaging and retail objects. The company has focused on the fashion, perfume, cosmetics, home decoration, jewelry, wine and spirits markets, offering brands secondary packaging solutions that meet their exacting standards and enhance the experience they create with their products and in their stores.
Over the past 25 years, Procos has expanded across several continents, enriching its expertise to become a key reference in eco-responsible packaging for top-of-the-range homes.
Initially focused on the manufacture of paper bags, Procos soon expanded its portfolio to include boxes, cases and woven products. Since 2015, the company has taken a close interest in e-commerce issues, identifying the challenges of this new market and producing packaging optimized for this use, with its eco-friendly "Yoga Light" box, an all-in-one solution for brands.
In 2022, the company made a name for itself with its "New Material" shopping bag: a smooth, single-material kraft bag with paper ribbon handles, uncoated so 0 % plastic, but 100 % compatible with luxury codes.
Procos also made its mark with the first version of its pop-up box, renewed in early 2023 with a special "Chinese New Year" edition and soon to be revisited with an exclusive 25 years version. This shipping box designed for e-commerce stands out thanks to a foil added to the lid: this covers the products (tied with a ribbon for the gift aspect) and creates the pop-up effect when opened.
In 2023, the company made a name for itself with its new paper bag, the "1998", a special 25th anniversary bag made of white kraft paper, with a multi-faceted 3D structure and embossing, for a feel that, according to the company, "delights the senses".
The company has built its history on strong human relations, a constant quest for innovation and meetings as privileged times for exchange and sharing.
Thus, in June 2022, Procos organized an event dedicated to eco-design and sustainable and social development to raise awareness among its various partners of the need for such actions.
"At Procos, we strive to be where our customers need us to be. We create and innovate to offer packaging solutions in line with the market's new eco-responsible expectations, as well as its quality requirements and need to stand out from the crowd. We are present wherever we are needed, with offices and production sites on several continents, and we have also enhanced our e-shop platform for optimized logistics solutions. We support every production project, from the briefing stage, where we listen and make suggestions, right through to product delivery.explains Leander Kritikos.
