Omet Americas is hosting its first Open House at Clemson’s Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics on February 6-7 in South Carolina. The free event will allow attendees to connect with vendors from across the flexo industry, and they can explore the latest technologies to determine which industry advancements shoudl be considered in 2019.

This two-day event will offer speaker presentations, Omet press demos, networking opportunities and complimentary food.

Omet Americas and Clemson’s Sonoco Institute have partnered over the years in many ways to provide advanced printing capabilities to Clemson students and the industry. Omet’s Varyflex 530 narrow-web press provides an opportunity for students and partners to experience hands-on learning in the basics of press operation, color management, process control and more. The press is placed in the Institute’s Advanced Print Lab, which also houses ink and platemaking capabilities.

Aside from partnering through the print lab at Clemson, the Institute is also one of Omet’s designated Future of Flexo schools, receiving additional support from Omet to ensure that students receive exposure to the technologies and skills employees are using in the flexographic field.
