PRESS RELEASE -- Converting Magazine, 11/20/2009 11:09:35 AM
Columbus, OH-based Atlapac Corp. continues to expand its offering of contract-converting services with a new pouch machine that will be on-line in the coming months. The new pouch machine will be capable of creating the appearance of a full-bleed print.
Atlapac has added another high speed pouch machine with full bleed capability to assist its contract-converting accounts with the capability to run ink "full bleed" and remove the plate break on a flexographic printed job. At over 100 pouches/min, Atlapac can "strip out material" between impressions to offer a finished pouch with "full bleed" at high speeds. Now Atlapac's contract-converting clients can offer a pouch with complete ink coverage without the need for sleeves or "in the round" printing.
Paul Unrue, Vice President of Atlapac commented, "I spent 15 years selling flexographic printed flexible packaging, and at times would work with a pouch client accustomed to buying pouches printed rotogravure with full bleed print". In the past, when selling flexo, converters had to remove the plate breaks by utilizing expensive continuous print sleeves in order to run the ink out to the edges.
Now Atlapac can remove the plate break (at high speeds) and offer the look of "full bleed" print. The new machine allows our customer's to offer their customers an aesthetically pleasing finished product.
Stuart Staeck, President of Atlapac commented, "We're proud of our growing relationships with our contract-converting clients, and adding this machine will allow us to serve them better and help them grow their business."
Atlapac consists of a team of Packaging Professionals. The manufacturing facility in Ohio converts a million bags and pouch a day.
Atlapac Corp. is a privately held company that has been pioneering innovative packaging products for over 25 years. More info: 800/888-7019, email: sales@atlapac.com, www.atlapac.com
