The Packaging Lab, a new digitally printed packaging film and pouch company, is launching operations this month, offering online design and ordering using HP Indigo digital printing and automation solutions.
The company installed an HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press at its 15,000-square-foot facility in Minneapolis, MN, creating a finishing line with Karlville Pack Ready lamination, slitting and pouching lines optimized for HP Indigo production.
“The new concept will disrupt the industry by allowing customers to design and order custom packaging entirely through an e-commerce platform,” said Dan Niblo, CEO at The Packaging Lab.
In today’s packaging industry, lead times – even using digital printing- can range from 6 to 16 weeks.
The Packaging Lab vision is to provide as fast as 24-hour to 5-day maximum turnaround, offering a flat fee for design services, and no tooling costs or minimum orders.
“I could tell you many stories of tens of thousands of dollars of waste due to product change or mistakes using Flexo. We won’t have that issue here,” Niblo said.
