Graphic Packaging International (GPI) plans to invest in its Dutch Sneek folding carton plant in response to rising demand for sustainable packaging. The US group reports that around €20m are earmarked for investments in the plant. The Sneek manufacturing site produces cartons for the European beverage market. These plans form part of a two-year expansion programme. Until now a new flexo printing machine has been installed. Reports indicate that the new 11-colour press has replaced two machines at Sneek, resulting in a significant increase in both printing speed and the facility's annual capacity. In addition, the factory building has been expanded by 5,000 m~2.
