In the world of converting, companies come and go, while mergers and acquisitions happen often. In other words, change happens frequently as converters strive to expand their businesses.

When it comes to the preferred method for value-added printing of flexible packaging and labels, flexography is still king of the hill. These days, many flexo printers base their business on narrow web production.
