ILIP AT MARCA 2026
ONE-STOP SHOP FOR FOOD PACKAGING AND PARTNER FOR PRIVATE LABEL BRANDS
At Marca by BolognaFiere (14-15 January), ILIP presents itself as a ‘one-stop shop’ for food packaging and showcases its solutions for Food Service and Fresh Food Packaging.
Valsamoggia (BO) 8 January 2026 – ILIP, a company of the ILPA Group, will participate in Marca by BolognaFiere & ADM 2026, scheduled to take place at BolognaFiere from 14 to 15 January, where it will be present in Hall 19, Stand C3.
The event, a benchmark in Italy for private label brands, represents an opportunity for ILIP to reaffirm its role as an industrial and commercial partner capable of supporting modern distribution throughout the entire packaging selection and development process: from defining departmental needs to selecting the most suitable solutions in terms of performance, compatibility with production lines and product enhancement on the shelf.
At the heart of ILIP’s presence at the fair is the concept of a “one-stop shop”, i.e. the possibility of finding a single point of contact for different food packaging needs, thanks to a wide and comprehensive portfolio of products and materials. This approach translates into operational simplification and range consistency, but also into the ability to accompany customers in complex projects, with an offering designed for multiple channels and applications.
In this context, ILIP also confirms its vocation as a manufacturer and supplier for private label projects, working alongside retailers to develop packaging solutions consistent with positioning, category objectives and technical requirements.
As for Food Service Packaging, ILIP is presenting a complete overview of its main products at the fair, with a specific focus on IlipBio and the Fibraware® family. IlipBio is a range of tableware and food packaging made from compostable bioplastic for various applications in the modern catering world, while Fibraware® includes fibre and paper solutions designed for practical and functional service for the take-away business. This range also includes Fibraware® custom, a complete range of cardboard products that can be customised with the customer’s brand. This offer not only meets the practical needs of take-aways but also helps to strengthen brand identity.
In the Fresh Food Packaging sector, ILIP presents the HeatSealing Master and StretchMaster lines, two complementary families developed to cover the main methods of fresh food packaging. The HeatSealing Master line includes heat-sealable trays, suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) applications; the StretchMaster line is designed for packaging on automatic lines with stretch film or flowpack.
Alongside these solutions, at Marca 2026, ILIP is also presenting the SliceMaster line, dedicated to the packaging of cold cuts. Like the other two tray lines, these R-PET trays have also been designed according to Eco-Design principles to ensure the best performance with the minimum use of material and with a view to the Circular Economy, with the aim of promoting closed-loop recycling of the trays. SliceMaster trays are heat-sealable in MAP to help extend shelf life and maintain product characteristics for longer.
At Marca 2026, ILIP will therefore present itself as a partner capable of integrating expertise and products to meet the needs of retailers and food operators: a complete offering that combines solutions for fresh food and the food service world, while maintaining a concrete focus on the needs of private labels.
