ePac Flexible Packaging has launched a manufacturing facility in Mesa, Arizona, near Phoenix, to support rising demand for digitally printed flexible packaging.
Covering 66,000ft², the Mesa plant is the largest operational site across the company’s international network.

Staff headcount at the facility is expected to exceed 100 as operations develop.
ePac Flexible Packaging CEO Virag Patel said: “Our new Mesa facility embodies that vision by providing brand owners of all sizes the agility of short-run digital printing alongside the capacity to scale higher-volume production as their businesses grow.
“We are thrilled to bring expanded localised manufacturing to the region to help brands bring products to market faster and more efficiently.”
The site acts as a regional production centre for the Southwestern US, aimed at serving the area’s expanding consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector.
Operating closer to regional clients is intended to shorten distribution schedules, reduce lead times across the continent, and assist brands with faster stock rollouts.
The company plans to introduce further technical capabilities at the facility in 2027 in line with production growth and order volumes.
Greater Phoenix Economic Council president & CEO Christine Mackay said: “Greater Phoenix is a place where advanced manufacturers can grow and compete, and ePac’s decision to build its largest facility here is another sign of the region’s momentum.”
The site opening follows an alliance formed last month between ePac and Fujifilm/Graphic Communication Division.
Through this agreement, ePac is installing the Fujifilm J Press FP790 across its global network to handle high-volume digital printing, output speed, and cross-market scalability.
Established in 2016 with a single facility in Madison, Wisconsin, ePac now operates more than 20 locations globally, including sites in the US, Canada, and Europe, supplying varying order sizes for diverse brand tiers.
