American Packaging Corporation's Rotogravure Printing and Laminating facility has become an industry leader by specializing in combining in-line processes to provide packaging materials that are cost effective and create brand recognition.
A $17.5MM equipment and facility expansion was completed in 2011. The expansion included 100,000 square foot additional operating/storage space, a third computer controlled cylinder storage retrieval system, a new computer controlled slitter and robotic material handling system (view Seegrid Robots), along with a custom built Rotogravure Press Laminator with 100% defect detection.
Our Columbus, WI facility features multiple eight and ten color rotogravure presses capable of in-line printing with tandem lamination of film, paper and foil substrates.
