Packaging Solutions Holdings to Build New Facility

The new plant will house a full complement of new packaging equipment including:

• A new extrusion laminator that in-line laminates any combination of three base materials—paper, foil and film. It has two laminating heads each equipped to deliver three layers of polymers. This capability is ideal for cheese packaging, pouches, pet food packaging, stick packs, medical packaging and snack food packaging.
• A new 10-color printing press that generates the highest resolution graphics at world-class speeds, specially designed for quick changeover and fast color match in order to accommodate both short-runs and long-runs effectively.
• A new high-speed winder with a built-in laser system to produce all types of easy-tear, perforations, venting and easy-open features.
• New testing equipment to enable sophisticated and rapid product innovation trials.

Packaging Solutions Holdings has already ordered its long lead-time equipment and intends to begin operations in its new plant in mid-2011. The plant location will be decided shortly.
