Siegwerk Announces Grand Opening of Ink Lab at Clemson University’s Sonoco Institute
Siegwerk held a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony to celebrate the new Siegwerk Ink Lab at Clemson University’s Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics on Wednesday, September 4. Faculty, students and industry leaders were present to get the first look at the redesigned lab and also have an opportunity to network with other industry professionals.
The Siegwerk Ink Lab will be a resource at Clemson to build innovative package design through ink technology, enhance capabilities to explore visual appearance and functionality of packaging in terms of inks and coatings, and guide research in energy curable and other ink technologies.
“We are excited about the Siegwerk Ink Lab,” said Jarred Carter, head of flexible packaging. “Over the next five years this lab will provide the faculty and students access to best-in-class ink technology and ink management processes. It was our pleasure to meet the students, along with suppliers and staff to celebrate the commitment we have made to the Sonoco Institute.”
