Americk Packaging Unveils New Innovation Center

Specialist packaging supplier Americk Packaging, U.K., has invested heavily into a brand new dedicated facility offering an impressive group resource located at its Wigan, England, plant. The Innovation Center covers all divisions of Americk Packaging, which has recently been acquired by Saica Group. 

Group Retail Director Josephine Morgan said that "our customers will be able to interact with our sales and marketing, retail, technical, and innovation teams in a creative and inspiring space. 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, recently appointed group innovation manager, added that "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 its ability to produce multiple packaging solutions, including a variety of labeling concepts, carton profiles, and a vast flexibles portfolio. Morgan expanded 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 the planning offering retailers, brand owners, and manufacturers the opportunity to visit the Wigan operation. Americk Packaging consists of six manufacturing sites spread across the U.K. and Ireland.
