the company

The OVERPRINT company was founded by Yves Ismaël.

A technical and business engineer, Mr. Ismaël worked for many years in the north of France for a prominent industrial printing company. Travelling extensively throughout the country, he became aware of a major recurring problem experienced by his clients: difficulties storing tons of printed packaging that couldn’t be put to market due to legal amendments rendering it obsolete.

In the mid-1990s, he commissioned a major Paris business school to conduct a market study. A sample of 50 companies covering every sector of the economy dealing with packaging was surveyed. Several questions were put to company directors, marketing managers and packaging purchasing managers.

the packaging compliance process was born.

Encouraged by the study, and following several months of analysis and research, Yves Ismaël set out to devise new machines capable of masking faulty printouts by overprinting them with new compliant texts able to be printed onto any type of collapsed or pre-formed media.

To satisfy industrial requirements and manage large packaging runs, he invented, 25 years ago, an innovative patented solution that a few months later would become the first prototype of the overprinting machine.

Giving new life to packaging planned to be thrown away served two purposes dear to Yves Ismaël :
– to save his customers money by reprocessing their obsolete packaging
– sustainably reduce industrial pollution by promoting the preservation of nature and the environment.

OVERPRINT IS NOW LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

Today the OVERPRINT company counts among its hundreds of customers the most renowned brands in the fields of pharmaceuticals, the high-end agro-food industry and cosmetics.

Thanks to its patented overprinting process, the OVERPRINT company brings millions of packages back into conformity every year, with a special focus on the protection of nature and the environment through its Imprim’vert-certified concepts and technologies.

It is the market leader in the transformation and salvage of non-compliant packaging.

OVERPRINT carries forward on its path towards a more responsible economy, firm in its commitment to keep on innovating for nature and the environment. OVERPRINT already uses food grade inks, all water-based and free of solvents, and is developing new units with a controlled carbon footprint, just like our future production line designed from the ground up with laser printing technology.

In addition, the new production unit in Portugal has 190 solar panels installed on its roof, ensuring that it consumes its own energy.
