Quick Delivery Program Launched by Graphic Packaging

MARIETTA, Ga.—Graphic Packaging International's laminations unit announced today the launch of ASAP (Accelerated Supply Access Program), designed to provide delivery of ready-to-print metallized film and holographic rolls and sheets in under two weeks for less-than- truckload volumes.

"The ability of metallized film and holograms to grow sales volume is a frequent topic in the converting industry. However, carton makers are frustrated by long lead times and having to source multiple vendors for different materials," said Michael Dillon, business manager for GPI's lamination business unit. "The ASAP program is designed not only to provide quick turnaround but also to allow one-stop shopping for a variety of laminated materials."

Initial offerings will include MasterlamTM metallized polyester lamination with an acrylic overcoat and SpectralamTM holographic laminations in several pattern choices. Multiple calipers and several roll and sheet sizes will be inventoried. "We plan to offer other laminated and extruded products in ASAP based on market demand," Dillon added.
