Flair Flexible Canada operation adds 10-color press, laminator, and second plant in Calgary

Flair Flexible Packaging Corp. is expanding its Canadian manufacturing capabilities with the installation of a proprietary 10-color CI flexographic-printing press and a proprietary solventless laminator at its plant in Calgary, Alberta. To support this growth Flair has also acquired a second plant in Calgary, adding 35,000 sq ft of warehouse and production space, which now serves as the new location for its converting equipment. This investment marks the first in a series of planned expansions to strengthen Flair’s Canadian manufacturing platform, with additional presses and converting equipment in the near future.

“Unprecedented disruptions in recent years have exposed supply-chain vulnerabilities across all industries, and we took that as a signal to evolve,” says Young So, Flair President and Owner. “We saw an opportunity to help brand owners stay agile in the face of changing demand by integrating advanced material innovation with onshore manufacturing. Our goal has always been to make high-performance, value-added packaging solutions more accessible to the North American market.”

The new investments enable Flair to deliver complete, specialty-packaging solutions manufactured in Canada, including custom laminates for thickness, barrier and performance requirements, as well as bold graphics that help brands enhance visibility and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

These additions strengthen Flair’s existing North American platform, which includes a wide range of high and standard barrier materials, available as roll stock for FFS, lidding, and thermoforming applications, as well as premade pouch formats with optional features such as valves and spouts. It also includes a robust inventory program of unprinted, ready-to-label rollstock and pouch options – offering flexible solutions for a wide range of packaging needs.
