ePac opens Arizona plant

ePac Flexible Packaging has opened a 66,000sqft manufacturing facility in Mesa, Arizona, its largest worldwide, to bring digitally printed flexible packaging and faster turnaround closer to brand owners in the Southwest.

The plant will eventually employ more than 100 people and serve as a dedicated hub for the region, where the consumer packaged goods sector is growing quickly. ePac says a local presence gives brands faster shipping, hands-on support and the agility to launch products quickly. It adds that the plant is a major investment in next-generation packaging technology, with further capabilities planned for 2027 as it scales to meet demand.

'ePac was founded on the belief that digital printing would redefine the global flexible packaging market. Our new Mesa facility embodies that vision by providing brand owners of all sizes the agility of short-run digital printing alongside the capacity to scale higher-volume production as their businesses grow. The Southwest is home to some of the most dynamic CPG brands in the country, and we're proud to give them a partner right in their backyard,' said Virag Patel, CEO of ePac Flexible Packaging.

'ePac's Mesa facility highlights Arizona's position as a premier manufacturing and distribution hub of the Southwest. Arizona's strategic location with unparalleled access to major world markets, a rapidly growing customer base and a strong talent pipeline will support ePac's success across the region,' added Sandra Watson, president and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority.
