Shafaf Packaging & Printing
Shafaf Packaging & Printing Industries is the story of more than four decades of commitment, creativity and innovation in Iranâs printing and packaging industry. This journey began in 1984 when the late Mohammad Reza Karbalaei Mohammad Hossein â a respected pioneer of the printing and boxâmaking industry â founded the "Kaboutar Printing Services and Paper & Cardboard Industries" with a forwardâlooking and responsible vision.
In the first chapter of this journey, the company focused on products directly linked to the future of society: school notebooks, fancy boxes, activity books and paper and cardboard toys. These products were designed and produced to support scientific growth, nurture creativity and enhance the intelligence of children and teenagers. From the very beginning, quality and social responsibility were the two core pillars of this young business.
Over time, as the needs of Iran’s industries expanded, Shafaf moved beyond educational products and consciously entered the field of packaging. Producing mailing envelopes and pioneering paper shopping and gift bags with refined, modern designs was a creative response to market demands and a clear sign of the company’s deep understanding of the role of packaging in shaping product identity.
This development‑driven approach was not limited to product variety. By relying on research, study and close monitoring of global standards, the company took a major step and, for the first time in Iran, designed and produced luxury export cartons with four‑color offset (laminated) printing – a product that redefined quality, beauty and functionality in packaging and positioned Shafaf as an innovation leader in the industry.
Our mission is to foster self‑reliance and sustainable growth in the country’s packaging and printing industry through continuous development, efficient production, technology renewal and process optimisation. We see ourselves not merely as a manufacturer, but as a strategic partner for our clients.
At the heart of the Shafaf brand lie customer focus, empowered human capital, professional performance, collaboration and synergy, and need‑driven innovation.
We believe in quality, consider no task insignificant and create an environment where creativity is recognised, encouraged and rewarded, and meaningful work can truly flourish.
In 2001, Shafafâs superior quality, continuous innovation and organisational capability were recognised internationally at the 26th International Quality Convention in Geneva, where the company received the prestigious "International Gold Star for Quality" from BID â a milestone that confirmed our chosen path and motivates us to keep improving in both scale and excellence.
'In the world of competition, packaging defines the quality of your products.' It must save more than it costs, and we stand by your products.
The impressive capability, high quality, innovation, and organizational excellence of Shafaf Packaging Industries led to receiving the 'International Gold Star for Quality' in 2001. This honor was awarded during the 26th International Quality Convention in Geneva, Switzerland, by B.I.D. (Business Initiative Directions). This success, an honor for our company and the national packaging industry, inspires us to strive even harder for qualitative and quantitative improvement.
