“We’re the only company left in New York City still making cartons,” stated Ares Printing and Packaging’s Jack Dub at HBA Booth 756. Dub extolled the virtues of the 38 year-old company’s environmentally sustainable practices. “We’re FSC certified, and we use 100% co-generated electricity. We also exclusively use soy inks, and are alcohol- and solvent-free,” Dub said.

Ares, which recently opened a new plant in College Point, Queens, has two of the the largest sheetfed printing presses in New York State, and also has the only E-flute and B-flute manufacturing and laminating facility in New York. In addition to E-flute and B-Flute cartons, the company also specializes in paperboard folding cartons, POP displays, fluted liners and more.

“And all of our capabilties are cost effective, with fast turnaround,” Dub added.
