LUXEMBOURG ,
Feb. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hart Print, leader in digital
printing on aluminum cans in North
America and a subsidiary of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP), is
bringing more printing power to the U.S. East Coast with the
opening of its third production facility in Elkton, Maryland. Hart Print is aiming to
increase its annual printing capacity by at least 100 million cans,
or 66 percent of its current capacity, with the addition of the
Elkton site.
"We're combining our new state-of-the-art facility with AMP's
pasteurization-ready cans, which are perfectly suited for digital
printing," notes JP Paradis, Hart Print co-founder and co-CEO. "No
other digital printing service provider in our market is even close
to offering services of this quality."
The Elkton site was built from
the ground up to accommodate three Hinterkopf D360 digital printers
with room to grow. These cutting-edge machines produce 1800 dpi
magazine photo quality graphics directly on aluminum cans, offering
a printing range of more than 95 percent of the color spectrum.
Hart Print co-founder and co-CEO Stephanie Hart adds: "This expansion unlocks
easy access to cans for the massive number of beverage providers in
the Northeast of the US. We're proud to bring our customizable
service closer to our East Coast customers to help bring down
shipping costs."
With an increased print capacity comes more flexibility for the
company, giving it the freedom to accept larger orders quickly
while also respecting Hart Print's traditional smaller-scale
customer base. Hart Print has actively prepared for the opening of
its Elkton site for months.
Production, design and tech specialists were trained at the
company's Montreal and
Chicago facilities since last
summer.
"Not only are we working with the best tech in the industry, but
we've been trained by a team of industry experts," says
David Goldscher, General Manager of
Hart Print Elkton. "While our facility is brand new, our people
know digital printing on cans inside-out."
