They also produce Benson Box products, a company Alpha acquired in 2023 and moved to their Greenwood facility. “Alpha Packaging is equipped to handle any style box the sales force drags in. This Includes foam lined, triple- wall, plastic corrugated, and other specialty products. The bread-and-butter base overhead accounts run mainly on two three color EMBAs,” said Mike Stec. “The FFG 245 QS Ultima has an inline die cutter and ClearVision glue system. The new FFG 175 QS Ultima was installed last year and can produce up to 500 high quality boxes per minute. Both machines are considered hybrids because they run panel and blank sizes that competing FFGs cannot. We chose EMBA because of our experience with the reliability and performance of a used machine uti- lized during our startup phase.” Since then, EMBA developed the patented Non-Crush Technology providing a quality image of Alpha’s boxes in the marketplace. Stec continued: “As an environmental advantage, we can use lighter paper weight combinations to give the
necessary container strength, while significantly reducing fiber content to maintain high sustainability, saving trees every day.” The products run on these two workhorses’ are cor- rugated packaging for mainly non-durable goods such as food and beverage, paper products, cosmetics, etc. Alpha maintains a Food Safety Certification with an excellent rat- ing.
