As the leading supplier for wide and narrow-web flexo packaging, we are committed to delivering high-quality plates and unmatched customer service for the corrugated industry. In direct collaboration with our manufacturing partners, we are the first to bring new innovations to our customers—advancing their business while simultaneously advancing our industry.

With an annual output of 580MM square inches of polymer, we produce more than 50% of the industry’s total footprint. It is this volume that ensures access to the widest array of flexo plate technologies from MacDermid, Dupont, Flint and Kodak. Our Flexo Centers of Excellence offer full-service plates from simple to complex, including Basic Corrugated, Amazon FFP/SIOC and High End Displays. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to production and provide customized solutions that marry the perfect combination of plate, screening, imaging and materials to deliver the desired result.

National coverage, local support

In a time when many businesses are consolidating, we are expanding to better service our customers. With the addition of a West Coast operation in the Greater Los Angeles Area, we will have the unique ability to respond to printer needs immediately, delivering plates within hours, not days, so they can get orders completed and delivered on time. This move will also help us reduce our impact on the environment, drastically reducing materials and emissions related to shipping across the country.

The Irwindale, CA plant will join our Atlanta, Florence, Minneapolis and Toronto locations, operating a total of 26 CDI imaging devices and four Kodaks. Across our network, we have the focused expertise to deliver what our customers need, when they need it.

Commitment to printer optimization

We are proud to offer a development program for our printer partners to help establish best practices and advise on equipment optimization. We train staff to be knowledgeable and invested in their careers and in their company’s success. By optimizing the corrugated printing process through quality hands-on training, printers are able to reduce employee turnover plus find and keep experienced operators. Led by industry training experts with decades of experience in corrugated printing, our program is designed for brand new operators and seasoned print veterans alike.
