American Packaging Corporation (APC) has announced new investments at its facility in Columbus, Wisconsin, introducing gravure cylinder engraving technology to its operations.<\/p>\n

This addition allows the company to handle high-definition (HD) certified engravings internally to support its rotogravure packaging services.<\/p>\n

By establishing in-house engraving, APC now manages all aspects of the process, which includes technology implementation and process control, with reduced lead times.<\/p>\n

The company said that its in-house, fully integrated engraving capability offers brand owners the benefits of APC\u2019s premium HPE Roto gravure print quality and responsive service.\u202f<\/p>\n

APC Rotogravure Printing and Laminating Centers of Excellence operations director Mark Krueger said: \u201cVery few flexible packaging companies have in-house cylinder engraving coupled with the personnel expertise required to produce precision results.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working with both internal and external engraving partners, APC leverages the best of both worlds to deliver exceptional value and ensure business continuity for our customers. I am proud of APC\u2019s rotogravure team and the strategic benefits they provide every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, last year, APC received approval for an expansion at its location in Story City, Iowa.<\/p>\n

This project involves increasing pouch production capacity and is expected to be completed by September 2026.<\/p>\n

At that time, APC said it continues to invest in facilities and equipment, aiming to differentiate itself with a broad portfolio of pouches, bags, and other flexible packaging technologies.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1902, APC operates six Centers of Excellence\u202facross the US and employs around 1,300 people.<\/p>\n
