The new electron beam coatings allow for high-gloss finishes and scuff resistance without the use of solvents or emissions that might otherwise compromise tea leaves' flavor and aroma. By eliminating these chemical risks, the company provides a cleaner barrier for sensitive products. Complementing this, the installation of fixed-blade-width slitters ensures tighter tolerances and uniform roll profiles, which are essential for maintaining consistent performance during automated handling.

American Packaging Corporation Upgrades Tea Production Lines
To preserve the delicate sensory profile of tea while accelerating filling speeds, American Packaging Corporation has integrated electron beam coating technology and precision slitting into its manufacturing facilities. These strategic hardware investments aim to solve common material stability issues that frequently plague high-speed packaging lines for beverage brands.
Beyond specialized coatings, the company continues to leverage a diverse range of converting technologies, including flexographic, rotogravure, and digital printing. This versatility allows manufacturers to switch between paper, foil, and metallized films while maintaining specific barrier requirements. Based in Columbus, Wisconsin, the family-owned firm currently operates six Centers of Excellence across the United States, utilizing these upgrades to support both small-batch launches and high-volume production for the tea industry.
