WS Packaging grows its label and package printing busines through acquisition and lean manufacturing practices.

In another instance that demonstrates WS Packaging Group's expertise in both flexo and offset processes, tree nut producer Blue Diamond® Growers sought the converter's help with the trial launch of eight new SKUs of almond butter. Review of the label artwork revealed that trapping colors using flexo could prove difficult, even with a four-color process/one-spot color approach that would require tight registration on a reverse-out in process. WS Packaging proactively moved the pressure-sensitive job to a Nilpeter offset press, and saved the customer more than $10,000 in prepress costs while achieving the desired label quality.
