Clear Lam Packaging to open new co-packing facility and innovation center
This spring, Clear Lam Packaging Inc. will open a new 25,000-square-foot Co-Packing Facility and Innovation Center at its Elk Grove Village, IL, manufacturing operation. Clear Lam has invested $2 million in equipment and technology to launch the new operation, which will support consumer products using its patented PrimaPak System. The operation will employ 23 individuals and focus on producing PrimaPak packaging for test markets, regional rollouts, seasonal items and ongoing national distribution.
The Co-Packing Facility will specialize in dry, free-flowing products using Clear Lam’s PrimaPak Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (V/F/F/S) System with combination scale weigher. It will start with two state-of-the-art production lines with a combined production capacity of 20 million units per year. Additional lines will be added in the future, according to the company. Clear Lam also will assist, on an as-needed basis, with the sourcing and purchasing of raw materials; shipping, freight and logistic services; and inventory and warehouse storage of materials and findings.
