ePac UK Silverstone to start production

Following its move into Europe earlier this year, ePac Holdings Europe has announced that production will commence at ePac UK Silverstone in late October.

Built on an all-digital printing concept, ePac is a full-service flexible packaging company that is disrupting the industry by offering brand owners the fastest possible time-to-market of just 10–15 days from artwork approval until finished roll stock and pouches are shipped.

As the first European site, ePac UK Silverstone is centrally located near the Silverstone Technology Cluster and the famous Formula 1 circuit. The new purpose-built facility will house class-leading machinery for the production of flexible packaging to order, and the site is designed to scale up quickly with HP Indigo 20000 Digital Presses in operation from day one, complemented by best-in-class lamination and pouch-making equipment.

Johnny Hobeika, Managing Director of ePac Holdings Europe, says, “ePac is disrupting the traditional packaging market – not only by offering fastest delivery – but also by enabling brand owners to engage directly with their customers through marketing promotions, such as seasonal and regional campaigns. And with no minimum orders, even the smallest brands can deliver on quality and shelf appeal.”  

We engage with the most environmentally-friendly process currently on the market

Nick Monk, Sales Director UK & Ireland and Managing Partner of ePac UK Silverstone, adds, “The state-of-the-art site at ePac UK Silverstone will showcase our unique concept. It is not just about delivering the highest quality flexible packaging – that is a given. We don’t focus on the technology, because we know we have the best in the industry. Our focus is on maximising the efficiencies to offer the best value for the client. Our USP is fast delivery enabled by an agile operation, which is based in the local market that it serves.”

ePac UK’s digital printing technology helps accelerate and supercharge new businesses to achieve fast speed-to-market. Customers order what they need, when they need it, without having to keep inventory. They can have multiple SKUs printed together in one print run, making it particularly ideal for short-to-medium run-length jobs.

Johnny Hobeika explains, “We engage with the most environmentally-friendly process currently on the market for producing flexible packaging." Furthermore, flexible plastic pouches offer significant efficiencies compared to other types of packaging, such as glass and rigid plastics, as they generate less CO2 emissions during manufacturing, distribution and use.

He concludes, “We are incredibly excited to announce that ePac UK Silverstone will be opening its doors in just a few weeks’ time. I have been in the industry for many years, and it is clear to me that people are eager to engage with this new business model. We are truly set to change the game.”
