Americk Packaging has unveiled its new Innovation Center, calling it an “industry first,” which encompasses a multi-substrate, multi-category Packaging Center of Excellence. The specialist packaging supplier has invested heavily into a brand new dedicated facility offering a group resource located at its Wigan plant. The Innovation Center covers all divisions of Americk Packaging, which has recently been acquired by Saica Group.
“Our customers will be able to interact with our sales and marketing, retail, technical and innovation teams in a creative and inspiring space," explains Josephine Morgan, Group retail director. "Encouraging visionary thinking, new product development and the ability to deliver fully printed sample mock-ups on any substrate all under one roof.”
Lucy Shepherd, the recently appointed group innovation manager adds, “Our aim is to deliver outstanding new packaging development utilizing our group capabilities and technical expertise aligned to consumer, customer and retailer needs.”
Americk Packaging’s key point of difference in an industry where innovation has become a prerequisite, is their ability to produce multiple packaging solutions, including a variety of labeling concepts, carton profiles and a vast flexibles portfolio. Morgan expands on this point, “Our expertise in the packaging market is enviable. The new Innovation Center provides a hub for our customers to tap into this knowledge targeting color management, circular manufacturing processes, shelf-life extension through to market insight and consumer trends."
The official launch event is currently in planning, offering retailers, brand owners and manufacturers the opportunity to visit the Wigan operation. Americk Packaging consists of six manufacturing sites spread across the UK and Irelan.
