Flexible packaging printer ePac has broken a production record on its fleet of HP Indigo 20000 digital presses operating around the world.
HP Indigo presses are distributed in Australasia by Currie Group.
In January 2020, production reached a new record of over 20m B1 impressions at 10 sites where ePac operates HP Indigo presses. Compared to January of last year, volume has tripled.
Expanding across North America, Europe, and Asia, this year, ePac serves more than 6000 customers, primarily small and medium-sized businesses.
Carl Joachim, ePac CMO, said, “Our customers have discovered the advantages of locally sourced, fast turnaround packaging as a means to drive market expansion of their brand. A high percentage of orders today are coming from returning customers.”
By the end of 2020, ePac is set to roll out a total of 52 HP Indigo 20000 presses as it continues its global expansion to 20 locations.
Alon Bar-Shany, general manager of HP Indigo, said ePac is leading the digital flexible packaging movement worldwide, as it replicates its HP Indigo digital printing-based business model in new locations.
“This expansion provides new opportunities for brands and end users benefit from digital printing advantages, including fast turnaround, no minimum order quantities, low waste and unlimited variable data for targeting, customisation and personalisation,” Bar-Shany said.
ePac’s growing footprint in the US today includes sites in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Boulder, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Madison. In Canada, ePac Vancouver has begun operations, as has ePac Silverstone in the UK.
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Richmond will open this year with several more US sites currently under review, as well as expansion in Europe. ePac Asia Pacific is scheduled to open for business in Bandara Mas, Tangerang, Indonesia in mid-2020 as the first ePac site in the region.
