EPac Flexible Packaging To Add EB Coating

June 6, 2018 Off By Sebastian Reisig

ePac Flexible Packaging will install an ebeam Core 100760 EB curing unit from ebeam Technologies, mounted on a Grafisk Maskinfabrik GM EB30 coating line at its Madison, WI, site in Q3 2018.

With the ebeam Core 100760, the GM EB30 will enable ePac to achieve instantaneous curing and a high-performance finish to overprint varnish (OPV) onto surface web printed materials from an HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press.

“At ePac, one of our key differentiators is our industry leading time to market. The addition of ebeam curing fits well into our business model and will enable us to create enhanced and high-performance finishes for our packaging,” says Jack Knott, CEO-ePac Flexible Packaging. “ePac is built on the premise that emerging innovative technologies, when properly deployed, will cause disruption within the flexible packaging market. We were the first flexible packaging business in North America to rely exclusively on the latest wide-web digital printing technology from HP – the Indigo 20000. We’re excited by the possibilities offered by ebeam Technologies, and look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership over the coming years.”
