Ann Chua, general manager of Allied Pacific Packaging Solutions Corporation, in front of its new Nilpeter FA-4*
Allied Pacific Packaging Solutions Corporation has invested in an 8-colour FA-4* flexo press with de-/relamination, UV-lamination, cold foil, and Quick-Change Die Unit, to meet increased demand for value-added flexible packaging.
The Philippine packaging company is a large player on the local package printing market and is one of 50 subsidiaries in the giant RD Corporation. Since 2005, the company specialises in printing of labels, pouches, boxes, wrappers, and much more, within the food segment.
‘We see a clear trend towards advanced flexible packaging solutions,’ general manager of Allied Pacific, Ann Chua, explained. ‘We operate in a highly competitive market in the Asian region, so we need to differentiate ourselves from the competition’.
Ms Chua spotted Nilpeter’s FA-4* running sweet sachets at Labelexpo Europe’s Packprint workshop in 2015, and her interest was sparked. ‘I was immediately impressed with the level of automation on that press,’ she said. ‘It basically combines a very cool design with a lot of practical and ergonomic features – and this appeals to me.’
