NY’s Ares Packaging Touts Sustainable Practices

“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.
