Small Volume, Big Results

SMALL VOLUME, BIG RESULTS
Printpack, Atlanta, GA, earned a bronze award in the 2009 Flexographic Technical Assn. Excellence in Flexography competition in the Wide Web/Screen/Film category for Pantene's Cuidado Clásico 2 en 1 shampoo sachet pouch. To satisfy Procter and Gamble's demand for a low-cost solution for a small volume, barrier structure that could be produced with consistent quality all over Latin America, Printpack's Queretaro, Mexico, plant developed a three-ply laminated structure that exceeded the expected performance in production lines by optimizing the required sealing temperaure and reducing overall production stops. Excellent print quality was achieved, completely changing P&G's original perception that only rotogravure could do the job.
