Hudetz Cardboard Packaging makes different types of packaging products as well as all kinds of boxes, folders, diplomas, and diploma tubes. It focuses on making exclusive articles, so it sacrifices mass production for the quality of every item. It is special in that it is the only shop in Croatia that makes round boxes, popular “flower boxes” for Zagreb luxury flower galleries. Apart from classic packaging products, it can also make wooden boxes padded with velvet or leather.

Tanja Hudetz, who runs the long-standing family shop, remarks that it is important to keep in mind that every decently equipped printing house can make packaging products, but the quality of products should never be underestimated, which is something their customers have recognized.
In contrast to former times, when they used to work a lot for state officials, today they mostly work with marketing agencies, for clients such as Badel and Konzum, and they also successfully collaborate with fashion designers. As she has always hung around the packaging shop, it is Tanja Hudetz’s great wish to move to a larger workshop, where she could fully express her creativity in the production, which she has increasingly less time to be involved with because of a mountain of paperwork she has to go through every day.
They use natural and artificial materials to make their products and their exquisite packaging has been appreciated by customers, who always come back. Notwithstanding the machines they use in their daily work, their modus operandi is first and foremost handcrafting. With seven workers they can deliver everything they agree on with their customers. The packaging shop prides itself on having the same workers from its very beginnings.
