    At Sacchetti di Tessuto, we customise every type of fabric bag to meet any request from our clients. We operate in various sectors, including the food industry, providing breathable packaging suitable for contact with food and visually appealing. All our bags are made with Made in Italy materials. We personally select the best fabrics available on the market, crafting each product with great care.

    Moreover, using different techniques – such as screen printing – we can create customised graphics and prints to make your brand recognizable on the shelves of stores or specialized shops in niche products. You can choose colors, designs, and textures to make your creation unique, just as Bresaole Pini did.

    Custom fabric bags for Bresaole Pini

    We produce every type of packaging, both for businesses that manufacture food or other types of products and for events or stores that sell online or have a physical location, aiming to differentiate themselves from the competition.

    In this article, we explain how we created a made-to-measure fabric bag for cured meats for the well-known Valtellina company Bresaole Pini.

    The case in brief: a made-to-measure bag for a premium product

    Bresaole Pini is a well-known food company in Valtellina. Founded in the 1980s, it has since been engaged in the production and packaging of high-quality bresaole. Over the years, the company has significantly expanded its plant and workforce, while preserving its core values linked to artisanal craftsmanship and high product quality.

    The company contacted us to request a custom fabric bag that would simultaneously highlight the brand and the product. The company boasts a wide range of bresaole, including prepackaged portions in trays as well as whole batches. One of these products is La Leggendaria, a bresaola made from French Limousine breed meat. A premium product that the company decided to enhance with packaging by requesting a made-to-measure, product-fitting bag made of ecological and recyclable cotton.

    Our proposal: a shaped bag in ecological cotton

    When Bresaole Pini approached us to create a natural fabric bag to showcase La Leggendaria, we immediately set to work creating packaging that met their requirements. Among the various sustainable, natural, ecological, and recyclable materials available, we proposed a grey mélange cotton with a medium-heavy fabric weight of 180 grams. This allowed us to give the bag the unique shape requested by the client (mirroring that of the bresaola), emphasizing the fabric's closeness to the product.

    We put our proposal in writing and, upon receiving the client’s approval, we launched the production process, starting with product prototyping.

    Consultation on colors, logo, and design

    An important phase of our work involves consultation. At Sacchetti di Tessuto, we listen to the client’s needs and develop their requests to create a product that reflects their ideas as closely as possible.

    We provide our expertise to guide the client in making the right choices regarding fabric, colors, and other important details, suggesting possible enhancements (such as colored ribbons or the best positioning of the company logo) to create unique and original packaging. In this case, to emphasize the product’s tradition and value, the bag was made with simple yet elegant grey mélange cotton. We then opted for the logo and lettering printed in black, a shade associated with luxury, using ecological water-based inks. The font chosen for the lettering was also a simple but sophisticated style, blending cursive and uppercase for an interesting and refined ensemble.

    A sample to verify the product

    Before proceeding with prototyping the bag, we asked the client to send us a piece of La Leggendaria bresaola to understand the exact product dimensions and perfectly develop the bag shape. We then created a faithful prototype based on the shape of the bresaola, respecting the agreed fabric, color, ribbons, and printing specifications with the client. For the bag’s cut, we opted for hand-shaped cutting.

    We then sent the sample to Bresaole Pini’s headquarters so the company could verify the final result firsthand.

    Fast production and rapid shipping

    Sending the prototype always allows us to immediately verify any modifications or improvements to make the shaped bag for bresaola perfect. In this case, the sample was immediately approved by the client, so once the prototype was approved, we started production to meet the delivery of 3000 pieces within the scheduled timeframe.

    One of our strengths is fast production. At Sacchetti di Tessuto, we have a timely and efficient organization that allows us to produce large quantities without compromising quality.

    For Bresaole Pini, we took 10 days of production to complete the 3000 requested pieces.

    “Creating this bag by combining modernity and tradition—two of Bresaole Pini’s main values—was an interesting challenge. We offered the client a consultation service to achieve shaped packaging made from natural, eco-sustainable fabric that would enhance the product and showcase our expertise, which was appreciated from the start. The foundation of this project was mutual listening: their needs on our side and our advice on theirs. The result was more than satisfactory, and the company was pleasantly impressed by the speed of prototyping and delivery of the entire order.” Alessandro Mainardi, CEO and founder of Sacchetti di Tessuto
