ROCHESTER, NY – The Board of Directors of American Packaging Corporation is pleased to announce the approval of the next $10 million expansion project at its Flexographic Printing and Laminating Division in Story City IA. The company’s decision to move forward with another expansion during the final stages of its current expansion at its Rotogravure printing facility in Columbus WI clearly demonstrates its confidence and commitment to the business.
