Hamilton, Ohio-based Innovative Labeling Solutions (ILS), an expert in both flexographic and digital printing, is another manufacturer taking the necessary steps to provide exceptional service for its customers. Similar to Overnight Labels, ILS champions new equipment.
"Our philosophy is to not keep up, but be one step ahead. And that's readily apparent in the investments that we've made in the equipment not only on the digital side of our business, but also on the flexographic side," said Sean Gallagher, technical sales. "We have on the digital side a narrow web rotogravure laminator—the only one like it in the United States. It's designed specifically to work hand in hand with our digital equipment for the 13.5" wide web width. The market we are servicing in the flexible packaging industry is single serve—whether it be a sample packet of a tanning lotion, hand lotion, towelette or a single serving of coffee, tea, snack mix and trail mix. Flex packaging is growing well into the double digits right now."
