From a small workshop in 1971 to today’s factory
Founded in 1971 by Jean-Claude Lottin under the name Papier Hova, the company started out with curling ribbon and packaging for bakeries. The founder passed on his passion for packaging to his two children, Catherine and Jean-François. More than 50 years later, HOVA Packaging manufactures its packaging in a factory of almost 3,500 m² in Mouscron, with modern machines and the same sense of service.

Frequently asked questions
What food packaging do you offer?
Our speciality is the manufacture of paper bags for bread and pastries. We also offer packaging for patisseries, butchers, fruit and vegetables, chip shops and caterers: cake boxes, carrier bags, butcher paper, labels, insulated bags…
Can you customise my bread bags and cake boxes with my logo?
Yes, your bread bags and cake boxes can be customised with your logo. Printing options and production conditions are assessed for each project.
How can I find out the minimum quantity for my project?
The minimum quantity depends on the type of packaging, the size, the number of colours and the printed area. For cake boxes, an order must include at least four sizes. Send us your project and we will tell you which minimum quantities apply.
What does the price of customised packaging depend on?
The price depends on the sizes, the quantities, the design to be printed, the number of colours and the finishes you want. For cake boxes, a plain light or dark background can also change the price and the minimum quantities. A precise quote is therefore drawn up after studying your project.
What information do you need to give us a quote?
Please tell us the type of packaging, the sizes, the planned quantities, your design, the printing colours and the delivery date you want. This information lets us assess the feasibility of your request and prepare a suitable quote.
What file do I need to provide to have my logo printed?
To prepare your file and your print proof, we need a vector file in PDF or Adobe Illustrator format. A JPEG file alone is not enough. Creating or vectorising the logo must be done by you or your graphic designer.
How do I approve the print proof to start production?
A print proof is sent to you before the first production of any customised packaging. Production only starts once we have received your written approval by e-mail. Approval by phone is not enough: the proof must be confirmed in writing.
What are the delivery times after the proof is signed?
After the proof is signed, allow six weeks for bread bags and eight weeks for cake boxes. Delivery times are calculated from this approval.
Which countries do you deliver to?
We deliver throughout Belgium. We also deliver to France and Luxembourg; transport costs then apply, calculated according to volume and delivery address. For other countries, delivery is assessed on request, and transport costs apply.
Is your packaging suitable for food contact, and is it all recyclable?
Our packaging is suitable for food contact. Its recyclability depends on the material and the treatment used: some packaging is recyclable, while some is not. Waxed papers, for example, are not recyclable.
