A new tear-resistant, woven polypropylene bag with a stable, square base is now available from the Consumer Goods Packaging Division of Mondi in North America. 

Inland has acquired Valley Label, a Neenah, Wisconsin-based flexographic printing company that produces flexible packaging for customers in the healthy, beauty cosmetics and food insutries. The acquisition follows the recent addition of a flexographic facility in Pennsylvania in October 2015. 

Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) president and CEO Marla Donahue has announced plans to retire at the end of 2016. A search for Donahue’s replacement has been initiated.

American Packaging Corp. (APC) has acquired a 9-station Comexi gravure press, which is slated to be installed and operational by February 2017. 

Four years after it was launched, Sensogrip® resealable packaging system continues to demonstrate Flexico’ commitment to consumers and make a positive contribution in the battle against waste. 

Hundreds of packaging converters, their suppliers and customers will converge at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, April 13 and 14 for the 9th-annual Converters Expo, one of North America’s largest events showcasing equipment and materials suppliers to the converting industry.

For all of the rhetoric and publicity around “electronic packaging” and “smart labels,” there is a fundamental disconnect. Electronic manufacturing, which occupies its own ecosystem, is not naturally part of the brand or packaging manufacturing infrastructure.

Back in 2010, roll-to-roll printed electronics was the frontier of universities and researchers.

Recent advancements in flexographic printing are making it a preferred option for brands marketing products as diverse as food, grass seed, wine and motor oil.
