Project Blue, by Reproflex3, a multi-award winning innovation in flexo print technology with projects around the world, is expanding its reach. 

 

Cramlington, Northumberland, UK, November 1, 2018

 

Today, Reproflex3 is announcing that it has entered an exclusive partnership with Pacificolor in the United States to provide Project Blue across the US, Canada and Latin America. Through this partnership, Flexo Print Converters and Brand Owners in these areas will have access to Ultra High-Definition printing technology for flexo packaging. 

 

For the last five years, Reproflex3 has transformed the flexible packaging industry with Project Blue. Project Blue enables Flexo Print Converters to produce Gravure-quality print output using the flexo print process. Project Blue also helps converters reduce change-over time with four-colour reproduction. This innovation in Flexo Technology allows Brand Owners to tap into the agility and adaptability of Flexo reproduction, which includes significant benefits to supply chain management. Project Blue has won over 32 International Flexo Print awards for its print partners in the past three years. 

 

Trevor Lowes, Joint Managing Director at Reproflex3 said – “Project Blue has played a critical role in the Reproflex3 growth story. It is helping our Flexo print conversion partners tremendously, allowing them to stand out from competitors and add significant value to their process and product mix. We are seeing exceptional and consistent growth throughout our partners businesses. Today, the brands we manage at Reproflex3 are global, and they need globally sustainable solutions. With the US being the largest market, it was important for us to be present here for our clients’ needs. Pacificolor shares the same passion as we do for using advanced technology. Pacificolor has a large presence and great credibility in the region, and we feel that our visions are perfectly aligned. We are confident both Brand Owners and Flexo Print Converters will be happy to have this technology locally available to them. Post-United States, Canada, and Latin America, we will be expanding our reach to other parts of the world using strategic partnerships and in-house expansion. We’re looking forward to very exciting times.”

Pacificolor has been continuously delivering exceptional products and services to our clients and now with the addition of Project Blue, it now offers a significant opportunity for us and our client base to move to the next level.
