Imagine a bold strategic move: ProPrint Group, a dynamic UK-based specialist in self-adhesive and linerless labels as well as carton-board packaging, becoming part of Asteria, one of Europe’s fastest-growing label and packaging groups. Here’s why such a union could is a game-changer for both companies—and the broader industry.
- Complementary Strengths & Shared Values
Why this is a perfect match:
ProPrint’s strengths in rapid-turnaround services and sustainable packaging perfectly complement Asteria’s culture of flexibility, customer focus, and environmental innovation. By joining forces, the group combines ProPrint’s ability to deliver fast, high-quality, and eco-conscious solutions with Asteria’s established track record of scaling sustainable practices across Europe. This alignment not only enhances service to local customers but also drives forward shared ambitions in greener packaging technologies.
With the backing of Asteria’s resources, ProPrint can now amplify its production capacity, accelerate research and development, and expand its reach into pan-European markets. Customers will benefit from both the agility and creativity of a UK-based packaging specialist and the strength of a multinational group able to provide continuity, investment, and innovation on a much larger scale. Together, the two companies are creating a stronger, more resilient platform to deliver sustainable packaging solutions across diverse industries.
- Accelerating Growth via Synergies
Combined capabilities would unlock:
- Expanded geographic reach: Asteria’s 35+ plants across Europe would help ProPrint access new markets.
- Cross‑selling potential: ProPrint’s product range of labels, linerless labels and folding cartons merges perfectly into Asteria’s range of labels, flexible packaging, and folding cartons.
- Operational resilience: Asteria’s scale and investment capability could fortify ProPrint’s continued growth, tech upgrades, and innovation.
- Stronger sustainability offering: Together, they solidify leadership in sustainable packaging across Europe.
- Cultural Fit & Brand Identity
Asteria doesn’t force homogenisation. Our playbook involves:

ProPrint, known for responsive, partnership‑driven client relationships, could retain its identity while gaining from Asteria’s infrastructure and expertise.
