After more than 10 years of printing with Uteco’s Diamond HP, IG Design Group celebrated 1 billion meters of linear printed paper – this means 2 billion meters of gift-wrapping paper, because the wide roll is cut in half.
In 2012 The Group wanted to start building for their future, investing in more innovative and faster presses, marking a turning point when Uteco’s Diamond HP was put into service. A few years later, a second, even faster Uteco’s press was added into production for double printed paper.
The purchase of both machines has greatly increased the production of the company, which is now the largest manufacturer of gift-wrapping paper in Europe.

“We have taken good care of our Uteco’s Diamond HP and I think with such solid, reliable yet fast machines you can achieve truly incredible results: in 2022 we’ll have a turnover of approximately 65 million euros and, in addition, we will soon be making 100 percent climate-neutral gift-wrapping paper.”
