Americk Packaging unveils Innovation Centre

Packaging Solutions

Americk Packaging has invested heavily in a new, dedicated facility offering an impressive group resource – located at its Wigan plant. The Innovation Centre covers all divisions of Americk Packaging, which has recently been acquired by Saica Group.

Group retail director Josephine Morgan commented, ‘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, the recently appointed group innovation manager, added: ‘Our aim is to deliver outstanding new packaging development utilising 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 labelling concepts, carton profiles and a vast flexibles portfolio.

Josephine expands on this: ‘Our expertise in the packaging market is enviable. The new Innovation Centre provides a hub for our customers to tap into this knowledge targeting colour management, circular manufacturing processes, shelf life extension through to market insight and consumer trends.’

Americk Packaging consists of six manufacturing sites spread across the UK and Ireland.
