Digital press manufacturer HP and global flexible packaging manufacturer ePac Flexible Packaging have signed a commercial agreement that will see more than 10 HP Indigo 200K presses installed in North America and across Europe over the next three years.
The deal, valued at $50 million over three years, also includes HP Indigo consumables and services.
Once the rollout is complete, almost a third of ePac’s global press fleet will be the HP Indigo 200K platform.
200K is the fifth generation of HP Indigo’s liquid electrophotographic (LEP/LEPx) technology. It has a print speed claimed as increased by around 30% over the previous generation and to be up to 45% more productive.
Parag Patel, President, Shared Services, ePac Flexible Packaging, said, “This $50m investment marks a pivotal moment in ePac’s evolution. By integrating more than 10 HP Indigo 200K digital presses into our global network, we are not just expanding capacity, we are redefining the standard for high-speed, sustainable packaging.
“Whether we are supporting a local startup or a global brand, our hyperfocus remains on delivering a universally superior customer experience. With our upcoming expansion in Phoenix and the launch of our new e-commerce platform, ePac is signalling a future of uninterrupted growth and digital-first innovation that our competitors simply cannot match.”
