ePac Has Big Expansion Plans for Flexible Packaging in 2019
ePac Has Big Expansion Plans for Flexible Packaging in 2019
ePac plans to expand its plastic flexible packaging into several new US cities this year
We’ve covered the flexible packaging company “ePac” in the past, but as it turns out, they are growing into even more United States based cities. For 2019, they plan to expand into Cleveland; Minneapolis; Longview, Texas; Philadelphia; New York; Louisville, Ky., and Richmond, Va. They are primarily doing this with the help of their existing customer relationships. ePac is able to differentiate itself through its digital printing on the HP Indigo 20000 digital press, allowing them to run short and medium printing runs. This printer also allows ePac to serve smaller clients in flexible packaging because the cost of switching jobs with this particular printer is much easier and faster than competitors.
