Eastgate Group Installs Additional Screen Printing Lines for Plastic Bottle Labeling

1 February 2024

Eastgate Group, one of the nation’s largest providers of contract package labeling & decorating services, has announced an expansion of their screen printing capabilities. The investment will see two additional production lines installed at the southwest Ohio facility.

“Direct screen printing continues to be a compelling option for brands looking to achieve clean & attractive packaging without the need for a secondary label on the container. We’ve seen increased demand for this type of package decoration in recent years as companies seek to build a more sustainable & recyclable product. This investment will broaden our single & multiple color print capabilities and is in line with our commitment to provide customers with the highest quality packaging in the market,” said Kyle Ludeke, President of Eastgate Group.

The two production lines will be focused on labeling plastic cylindrical containers using UV-curable inks and will be supported by Eastgate Group’s in-house prepress & graphics department. “While many of our peers have started to outsource the crafting of their silk screens, we believe that keeping the entire process in house allows us to provide our customers with a superior product and a quicker turnaround,” added Ludeke. Eastgate Group expects the production lines to be installed & operational by March 2024.

Founded in 1989 and located outside of Cincinnati Ohio, Eastgate Group is a contract package labeler that provides turnkey & a la carte shrink sleeve, screen print, and PS label services for empty & filled rigid packaging including plastic bottles, glass jars, and aluminum beverage cans. As a holder of GFSI, FDA registration, Kosher, and Organic certifications, Eastgate Group supports a variety of industries ranging from food & beverage to health & beauty, home fragrance, personal care, automotive, pet, household goods, and more.
