Family tradition, strong and on-going commitment to innovation and respect for human and environmental values: these are the choices that have driven Varigrafica since its establishment in 1965.
These values have always been fundamental to the philosophy and style of the Adario family, one generation after another: the people at the heart of our universe, their talent and their qualities have been exalted and supported by state-of-the-art technology infused with the deepest respect for the surrounding environment. These are gifts that the owners have handed down to the company, thereby creating a “large family” that has grown in such a way as not to forget its local and national origins but to foster a natural vocation that is leading to the company’s internationalisation. The corporate plant is currently one of the most advanced in Europe from both structural and technological viewpoints and it perfectly incorporates the old school for printing arts and application of the latest technologies to ensure the highest possible quality and serve customers, thereby generating the best projects and ideas – from design to printing… up to final delivery.
Quality results and customer satisfaction have been the priorities at Variagrifica for fifty years thanks to a balanced alchemy of values based on natural propensity to use technological innovation and always supported by crafted experience and solutions, driven by on-going research into the best materials and never neglecting respect for the environment through continuous training for technicians to ensure faster execution, safer work and high-quality results via continuous monitoring of the most sophisticated technologies and the expert eyes of managers and technicians – as occurs in the most consolidated printing traditions.
Varigrafica supports customers from as early as the preliminary stages in a project, offering its skills and technologies to develop innovative and successful solutions. Creative staff backed by pre-press experts create the premises to ensure that the value of a technological system also becomes a value for clients through tailor-made designs “sewn” according to a customer’s production and communication needs.
A team of experts and professionals follow every stage in operations to ensure that a project becomes a quality result.
This division offers a personalised service designed to meet every possible need. Varigrafica can support clients from the design stage to product distribution thanks to fully-automated processes.
Full automation in all production processes, on-demand production, customisation and micro-circulation are made possible due to adoption of innovative technologies and production infrastructure digitalisation.
A digital platform governs the entire workflow – from graphic plant acquisition and elaboration to product printing and finishing.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY
21 million sheets of A4 paper per day means average annual production of over 5.5 billion sheets of A4 paper with 4+4 colour printing and relative packaging. This is joined by inserting and sending 500,000 C5-format pieces per day.
Production is carried out on premises covering 12,500 square metres, 6,500 of which indoors, and entails work carried out by 90 specialists every day. In addition to large circulations of every possible type of printed material, small quantities may be made on-demand – including just one copy – thanks to advanced digital printing system technology.

Varigrafica was the first company in the world to adopt H-UV offset technology with simultaneous automatic plate-changing through H-UV technology by Komori, thereby once again taking the high road that has always led the company in the right direction to grow steadily and become a leader in the graphic arts industry, in other words through investments in innovation and quality. Investments have doubled in a very short time, making the company a leader in Italy and on the continent given that two H-UV Komori presses are exclusive to Varigrafica.
The GL 840P (8-colour convertible press), the feather in the cap for the Komori brand, is the result of a combination of two highly-innovative and essential elements: advanced ink technology and a low heat-emission UV lamp ensuring exceptional benefits from both quality and economic viewpoints due to A-APC synchronised simultaneous plate-changing, quality control system and PDC-SX register, KID wall screen and H-UV drying prior to turning and delivering. The extremely low amount of heat emitted ensures that H-UV technology is also suitable for printing on heat-sensitive materials such as paper and plastic. Lower energy consumption with respect to traditional UV technology, lower paper consumption due to less waste on start-up, higher stability, no need for anti-set-off spray powder, lower down-times and brighter colours make H-UV the most extraordinary and efficient development in technology ever for any kind of printing process with the highest possible respect for the environment. • 1 KOMORI GL 840P H-UV 8-colour + reverse printing offset press (72×103 cm) • 1 KOMORI GL 840P H-UV 8-colour + reverse printing offset press (72×103 cm)
Renowned German company Heidelberg needs no introduction, as its background, unique logo and position as world leader in the offset printing press industry speak for themselves. The two presses owned by Varigrafica are extremely productive and versatile, fully automatic with electronic colour control, ideal for printing high-quality catalogues and folders and excellent for stationery-making processes. A Flexo system comprising varnishing and drying ovens and a die-cutting add-on completes our production cycle.

The HP Indigo press can undoubtedly be considered the most evolved and efficient digital offset printing press for on-demand printing available, with the same technical and executive quality as offset and H-UV offset printing. One of the fundamental features in HP Indigo printing techniques is the type of ink used (ElektroInk) containing charged pigmented particles in a liquid carrier which is laid by an offset cylinder wrapped in rubber to provide a chromatic quality and extraordinary depth and brightness unthinkable in digital printing until now.
This latest addition to the family to join the Varigrafica range can be considered the first-ever offset quality digital printing press in B2-format, making the HP Indigo 10000 ideal for elements traditionally printed using offset technology that require the highest-possible quality and productivity. Varigrafica’s digital printing equipment is among the top five worldwide in terms of the number of presses and sheets printed, thereby ensuring that this company combines the strength of its equipment with extraordinary quality in a unique manner on the domestic market also in the digital offset industry.
A capacity to go beyond printing: printing that we could define multi-sensorial and tactile, in which two-dimensional colour leaves the page to enter the third and maybe even fourth dimension to become wrapped in brightness and light and convey various levels of illumination and distinction and thereby make printing a new and different experience: the HiLux experience.
