We combine institutional knowledge, talent and technology for all customer applications.

APC HPE Flexo™ combines cutting-edge print media technologies and processes with on-press expertise and transparency to deliver consistent, measurable and repeatable excellence in print output. APC HPE Flexo™ is a holistic ecosystem that creates a different experience—from initiation to implementation—designed to ensure brands stand out, on shelf or on screen, with uniform package identity that drives repeat sales and consumer loyalty.

As one of the leading rotogravure printers for flexible packaging, APC provides lifelike graphic reproduction that captures everyone’s attention. Roto printing and coating is optimal for delivering rich coatings and design reproduction for brands that value their image on shelf and on screen. The APC experience includes advanced engraving technology combined with the newest presses and laminators in the flexible packaging industry. Brands can be certain their image and design investment will capture the consumer’s attention and support their key messages at that first moment of truth.

Our preformed bags and pouches are designed to meet a wide variety of industries and applications, from food and personal care to agricultural and industrial packaging. Using advanced rotogravure, flexographic, and digital printing capabilities, we’re able to craft unique solutions that include extrusion and adhesive laminations, as well as coated structures. When it comes to preformed products, APC has the product selection and flexible capabilities to give your application a custom look and feel.

We’ve linked digital technologies with traditional converting processes to enable custom laminations that can be quickly scaled for commercial sales. This hybrid approach allows for special coatings and finishes, as well as cold-seal and anti-fog applications with digitally printed graphics, enabling us to leverage digital printing with the same exacting specifications our customers expect in a commercial launch.
