The Flexo Xperience Center is a partnership between MacDermid and SOMA and an expansion of its initial plans to install a SOMA Optima2 printing press at MacDermid’s facility in Atlanta, GA, U.S.
A report from MarketsandMarkets finds that the market is witnessing high growth owing to the increase in demand for lightweight, convenient and cost-effective packaging products and solutions for food and beverage applications.
The $8-million, 35,000 square-foot CIC will be the company’s base for product development, rapid sample prototyping and evaluation of new packaging, as well as a training hub for customers and employees.
The flexible packaging is 100% recyclable and can be used for a variety of wrappers and containers, including water bottles, sandwich bags and snack bags.
