SERVICE & SUPPORT

EXPERIENCE

Our main strength is our customized development capabilities. Our team, consisting of members

from R&D to Technical Support, is assigned to assess a customer’s situation and provide quick

responses.

Ken Smith is the founder of the company and has over 30 years experience in manufacturing and

sales of inks and coatings. Ken has played an integral role in our EB / UV ink and coating

development projects.

The Greenpack team has a combined 120 years of experience in the graphic arts industry. The

entire Greenpack team, both in the field and in the plant, review any and all improvement

opportunities. The disciplined use of CNA’s (Customer Needs Analysis) allows them to focus in

on the critical elements of a problem and respond quickly to a customer’s needs.

CAPABILITIES

Our analytical laboratories, which are EPA compliant, allow us to thoroughly evaluate current

products, as well as measure the key elements of our own products. These facilities, as well as a

strong technical team, enable us to ensure consistent quality on a batch-to-batch basis, thus

producing state of the art inks and coatings for our customers.

RESPONSIVENESS

Our technical support team is based in Mooresville, North Carolina, and we have distribution

centers in the Northeast and Mid West. Arrangements have been made with back-up locations to

produce product immediately in the event of a catastrophe.

PARTNERING

We pride ourselves in working closely with our customers to ensure we are meeting their needs.

Our philosophy is to customize our product to the customer’s end use. We have recently worked

with a customer and developed the lowest odor and total migrant coating currently available

anywhere. This type of partnership gives our customers a definite edge in their own markets.

EB TECHNOLOGY/INNOVATION

Our primary focus is to provide the graphic arts industry with the cleanest, most stable inks and

coatings available on the market today. Our extensive research has resulted in the production of

a coating with extremely low total migrants as well as a stable coefficient of friction (COF).

This innovative coating formula enables our customers to reduce their make ready time, as well

as their spoilage, while allowing them to produce a more consistent finished product.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Continuous improvement and consistent high quality are a fundamental part of our culture and

our everyday business operations. We are ISO-9001 compliant and have instituted SQC and

SPC, together with a high degree of automation, to continually improve our systems, reduce

variation and eliminate reject and rework costs. We are continuously reducing our cost and

increasing our efficiencies which have enabled us to reduce our reject and rework costs to almost

0%. Our efforts to continuously improve products while reducing costs results in higher quality

and more innovative products, and lower costs for our customers.

RUTGERS UNIVERSITY

Rutgers University is a partner in our Research & Development process. Dr. Hartman is

currently acting as an advisor to our team and has thoroughly evaluated our products for

compliance with the FDA Standards. The manner in which coatings are applied leaves a

‘functional barrier’ between the coatings and the product. We can exceed the FDA’s

requirement for total migrants by using reverse side extractables.

We currently have the lowest migrants in the industry and are eager to share this technology with

partners. Through creative chemistry and continuous input from customers and industry experts,

we will be the leader in this technology.

TECHNICAL FACILITIES

We currently perform extractable testing, rub, gloss levels, PH, color management, cure,

viscosity, pencil hardness, cross hatch adhesion, as well as COF’s. We have an agreement with a

raw material supplier and ESI to perform EB cure testing for us. We also have access to Harper’s

laboratory, which is close to our own facility.

COMPUTERIZED MANUFACTURING

Our inks and coatings are manufactured with dedicated stainless steel equipment to prevent

contamination. The use of automation also enables us to closely control the batch production

process. We can assure our customers that their inks and coatings will be the cleanest and most

consistent on the market.

QUALITY & SAFETY

We ensure our customers requirements are up to date and reflect their current requirements

through the use of our CNA System (Customer Needs Analysis).We have procedures in place to

monitor incoming raw material inspection, qualify our suppliers, perform in process and finished

product inspections, as well as audit each area defined in the standard.

CUSTOMER SPECIFICATIONS

With our experience in the industry, we can help our customers define and establish their own

internal specifications. We will analyze their requirements and help them set operational

windows for their full range of specs. Coat weights are measured and compared for each unit,

and the condition of the anilox rolls and cylinders is also reviewed.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

In order to objectively measure customer satisfaction, we use and review information provided

by “On Time Delivery”, “Customer Complaint”, and “Corrective Action Review” systems

already in place.

PREVENTATIVE ACTION SYSTEM

Our record for top performance in quality and cost management is excellent. We are fully

confident that we can meet all of our customers ink and coating requirements and needs. Our

existing preventative action system will help us identify any improvement opportunities.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our goal is to be a leader in low odor ink and coating technology and a primary supplier to the

beverage, folding carton, gift wrap, and flexible packaging industries. We will continue to

supply EB and UV coatings along with Aqueous inks and coatings as well as state of the art

green cleaning supplies to help our customers maximize press performance and reduce costs.

Our technical development team’s research efforts will continue to be customer-driven to

improve existing products and explore new technologies to meet future requirements.

Our goal is to partner with our customers, so that we can both stay

“Always A Step Ahead”!
