All digital flexible packaging specialist slashes lead time to 5 business days on roll stock ordersAustin, Texas USA, Jan. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ePac Flexible Packaging, the all-digital flexible packaging specialist, saw its growth explode in 2020 over the prior year, doubling in both sales volume and employees. The company expanded its digital printing capacity by 35%, along with additional laminating and pouch making assets. The added capacity was spread across existing and new US locations, as well as international expansion. ePac’s global footprint now totals 18 plants since the company was founded in 2016. With this added capacity ePac can now offer the industry’s shortest lead time of 5 business days for roll stock orders. Lead time on finished pouches remains at 15 days, while the company works to reduce this as well.ePac’s customer base of small and medium-sized businesses has also benefited, with many realizing increased growth attributable to being able to go to market faster and more economically with packaging on par with that used by global brands. One example that stands out is the Ancient InGRAINEDed Snack Co. in Erie, Colorado, makers of the popular gluten-free snack, Ka-Pop! According to the company’s CEO, Dustin Finkel: “Packaging is such a critical part of any CPG brand's success, but small businesses in particular struggle with it because their options to move fast and nimbly with packaging are limited. With ePac, who we've been working with since our beginning almost 3 years ago, we found a partner that works with us. We grew 300% in 2020 and there is no doubt our approach with digital packaging has played a big role in achieving this."According to Virag Patel, ePac’s COO: “ePac’s growth won’t slow down anytime soon. Our investments in new plants and additional assets will continue to allow us to meet the growing demand for our services, enter new markets, and continue to reduce time to market for our customers.”While focused on SMBs, ePac serves brands of all sizes, as well as co-packers and co-manufacturers. These customers in particular will benefit from 5-day lead time as longer runs and roll stock tend to be the norm.About ePac Flexible PackagingePac currently operates 18 locations in North America and internationally.

NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 28 : A bodega worker restocks produce on April 28, 2020 in the Brooklyn borough in New York City. Workers at bodegas are considered essential where in some areas 80 percent of the food is purchased, according to a report put out by New York City. (Photo by Stephanie Keith/Getty Images) Andrew Yang’s mayoral campaign, which just began this week, is already off to an interesting start. Moments after announcing that he hopes to become New York’s next mayor, he explained that he doesn’t live in the city full-time, because “can you imagine trying to have two kids on virtual school in a two-bedroom apartment and then trying to do work yourself?” That was strike one: many New York City parents immediately pointed out on Twitter that they can and do manage this. Now, the internet is once again imploring Yang to drop out of the race for sharing another egregious New York take online. This one is debatably even more personal: it’s about bodegas. On Friday, Yang shared an odd video that is, ostensibly, a tribute of sorts to the staple New York institution. “New York City loves its bodegas!” he wrote. “The 14,000 bodegas are vital to our city — let’s support them and keep them open.” Somehow making the situation even worse, he punctuated the tweet with a Statue of Liberty emoji. In the video, Yang, who appears to be in a very upscale boutique grocery store, picks up two bottles of iced tea and elbows someone hidden from the camera. “How you doing, bro?” he asks. He proceeds to muse over some bananas, decide to purchase four, and pay for his items while discussing his love for bodegas. “Can you imagine a New York City without bodegas?” he says, turning towards the camera. “I can’t imagine. Let’s not have to.” New York City loves its bodegas! The 14,000 bodegas are vital to our city – let’s support them and keep them open. 👍❤️🗽 pic.twitter.com/pGb24IerGz— Andrew Yang🧢🗽🇺🇸 (@AndrewYang) January 15, 2021 There is a lot to unpack here, from Yang’s odd meal choice to the cringey dialogue. But the biggest source of discussion is the location, which appears to be… a midtown deli? A small supermarket? A New York equivalent to LA’s infamous Erewhon? Many people have cited its high-quality lighting, wide aisles, and stocked shelves as evidence that Yang is not at a real bodega. Obviously, there is also no cat in sight. Obviously products are lined on shelves in a sensible, easy-to-find way. This is not a bodega. The video immediately spawned memes, jokes, and annoyance. Several users on Twitter shared images of their own “favorite bodegas,” including Target, Costco, and 7-Eleven. brb hitting up my local bodega pic.twitter.com/Gm643MzUxA— Greg Price (@greg_price11) January 15, 2021 Just entering my favorite bodega to pick up a few things and support small business. #NewYangCity pic.twitter.com/a2MNA1v6Sc— combination pandemic hut & tacoup bell (@darbehoneyriver) January 15, 2021 This is the “Bodega” he’s talking about 😂 pic.twitter.com/kIU7R2MTiE— Liza 🇺🇸🇵🇷 (@lilmissarcasm) January 15, 2021 But this isn’t the first time “bodega” has been a trending subject. In fact, the discourse around bodegas seems to bubble up every few months. Just last month, writer Alison Leiby went viral when she asked non-New Yorkers where they purchase supposed bodega staples like paper towels, Diet Cokes, and M&Ms. Although the tweet was intended to be a joke about impulse purchases, people outside of the city criticized Leiby for sounding pretentious and clueless. People in the city questioned whether she really understands what makes bodegas special. And people everywhere noted that you can find all three of those items at any grocery store or Walgreens. In response to the backlash, Yang simply wrote, “Haha I love New York.” (I guess in an attempt to appear in on the joke?) Depending on who you ask, the internet might have helped Yang’s presidential campaign, but this is New York. He’s going to have to switch tactics. Like what you see?

As yet another National Ditch Your Resolution Day approaches on January 17, Life Time, the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, says you should ditch your big resolution and instead focus on taking one positive action each day to better your health. Each year, January 17 is known as the day when most new year, new me resolutioners give up on their big goals in lieu of old habits. Why is that? Experts say that most resolutions fail because they are too big and broad, and don't have set plans attached. Instead, smaller actions each day can lead to habit and mindset changes that prove lasting.
Disney fans are crushed to find out that Disneyland will be ending its annual pass program after the park was closed for nearly a year due to COVID-19. As Southern California continues to experience one of the worst surges in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, it has been unclear when Disneyland would be allowed to reopen its gates to fans. Thus, in a statement, Disneyland Resort president Ken Potrock announced that the company will be “sunsetting” its annual passes and issuing refunds to eligible pass holders.
Toxins leached from packaging into a pesticide commonly used on mosquitoes, the Environmental Protection Agency has found, but the risks to human health are unclear. Testing by the EPA found the pesticide, Anvil 10+10, contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known collectively as PFAS, The Boston Globe reported Thursday. The EPA determined that fluorinated “containers that are used to store and transport a mosquito control pesticide product contain PFAS compounds that are leaching into the pesticide product.”
The agency kept the traditional April 15 filing deadline, which was pushed back to July 15 last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There will be a bit less mystery to the March Madness bracket now that the NCAA selection committee no longer has to adjust matchups for travel concerns. With the entire tournament taking place in the Indianapolis area this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee announced Friday that teams will be bracketed more closely to their true seeding, 1-68. “But this year only, with the entire tournament being played in Indiana, the committee believes this different approach,” said Dan Gavitt the NCAA's senior vice president of basketball.
