What makes a book… a book? Is it the story? Or the way it lives in your hands? The weight you recognize without looking. The texture you didn’t expect. The page you keep returning to. In a digital world, books remain one of the few experiences that engage more than just our eyes. At Lecta, we believe this is what makes them irreplaceable. This World Book Day, we celebrate not just what we read, but how we experience it. Tell us what you think makes a book... a book.

A single stroke can become a comic, a mural… or the label on your favorite drink. That’s what Andi Rivas does: an artist, illustrator, muralist, and designer based between Madrid and Cádiz. He has worked on packaging, labels, animation, and brand design, and splits his time between drawing, painting, and commercial projects. At Lecta, we sat down with him to explore his creative approach and how he brings his art to wine, gin, and beer labels.

At Lecta, we believe equal opportunity means breaking down gender stereotypes. Long-entrenched ideas of traditional "male" or "female" roles need to evolve. And part of that change comes from showing qualified professionals succeeding in their roles regardless of gender. We are very grateful to these three professionals at our Sant Joan les Fonts mill (Girona, Spain) who generously offered to share their experience working in positions historically associated with men. They embody the Lecta spirit of integrity, impact and collaboration - and represent another step forward in our commitment to building a high-performing, more inclusive environment. Meet Belen, Raquel and Olga 🙂

At Lecta, health and safety are our top priority. Every year we reward the most innovative, effective ideas to enhance safety across our sites.

In 2025, the Awards for the Best Safety Improvement Idea went to: First prize: Sant Joan les Fonts Mill, Spain (First prize), Cartiere del Garda, Italy (Second prize) and Almazán Mill, Lecta Self-Adhesives, Spain (Third prize). #Safety #RiskPrevention #ContinuousImprovement #Lecta #LectaSelfAdhesives
