October 17, 2018 Off By Sebastian Reisig

ePac Flexible Packaging, a market leader in quick-turn, short to medium run length production​ of flexible packaging, has announced that it will be opening a plant in Boston to serve the New England market. Expected to be operational in early ​2019, a local sales office will be opened immediately while orders are fulfilled by another ePac location.

ePac is the only North American flexible packaging company based completely on the latest wide-web digital printing technology, the HP Indigo 20000, which significantly lowers costs for short to medium length runs. ePac reduces manufacturing lead time from months to weeks, enables custom printing, and is able to use print on demand to eliminate inventory and obsolescence expense.

ePac first opened for business in May 2016 in Madison, Wis., and has since added plants in Boulder, Colo., Chicago, and Miami. Additional locations in Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles, are underway. This extended footprint, of all digital full service flexible packaging plants across the United States, provides brands of all sizes the ability to introduce new products faster, run more promotions, make changes on the fly, and order to demand.
