ST. JOHNS PACKAGING EXPANDS FLEXOGRAPHIC CAPABILITIES IN THE UK

St. Johns Packaging announces the addition of a flexographic printing press to its Ilkeston facility. This strategic investment reinforces the company’s commitment to operational excellence, reliability and responsiveness for its valued customers.
The press will significantly enhance St. Johns Packaging’s flexo printing capabilities, particularly in the production of wicketed bags and other custom packaging formats. The press supports high-speed, high-quality output across a wide range of substrates, aligning perfectly with the company’s dedication to delivering premium packaging solutions.
“This acquisition marks a pivotal step in our growth strategy,” said Lloyd Dicks, General Manager (UK & Europe). “The press allows us to scale production, improve turnaround times, and maintain the exceptional print quality our customers expect—all while making a sustainable choice by giving proven technology a new chapter in its lifecycle.”
St. Johns Packaging will also be exhibiting at the Packaging Innovations exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham in February 2026, and looks forward to meeting brand owners seeking our unique approach: just-in-time domestic manufacturing combined with global value sourcing through our sister sites across our group. This integrated model enables us to deliver cost-effective, high-quality packaging solutions with speed and flexibility.
